DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE: It’s God’s LOVE PACT For His REDEEMED Children!

God LOVES You – you must ENDURE His DISCIPLINES when it SHOWS up – it’s for your OWN good.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He loves, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S  LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it does matter, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE them, except they are bastards or illegitimate children, which you are not.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine).

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls.  4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons.  9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live?  10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness.  11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.
