Mark A. Copeland 3. What about “corrective” discipline today? a. If God would use Providence to encourage Israel to repent before it was too late... 1) Would not the same God use Providence to chastise His erring children today? 2) Does He love us any less? b. I know of no scriptural reason why God would not use Providence to bring about events in our lives which serve to: 1) Wake us up 2) Cause us to reflect on our lives and our relationship to God 3) Encourage us to repent and turn back to Him if we are straying c. There are several passages which suggest that God might bring some form of “corrective” discipline if we do not heed His “instructive” discipline... 1) Some of the Corinthians had already begun to experience God’s chastisement, which they could have avoided if they had “judged” themselves (by heeding His word) - 1 Co 11:30-32 2) Jesus spoke of some way in which He would punish some at Thyatira that would be evident to all - cf. Re 2:20-23 -- I therefore have no problem with the idea that God may choose to employ corrective discipline in the form of national and even personal affliction [My understanding of a loving God chastening His children is tempered by my understanding of “why” He does this...] III. THE “WHY” OF THE LORD’S CHASTENING A. CERTAINLY NOT BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN DOING SO... 1. God found it necessary to bring judgment upon Israel - Lam 1:3-5 2. It was not something He wanted to do - Lam 3:31-33 B. WHEN NECESSARY, IT IS FOR OUR GOOD... 1. To correct us - He 12:9 a. Our human fathers do so, and we respect them for it b. Should we not expect the same from the “Father of spirits”, and submit to it? 2. That we may be partakers of His Holiness - He 12:10 a. Our human fathers do it for what seems best to them b. Our heavenly Father does it for a reason that far excels any earthly purpose! 3. That we may yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness - He 12:11 a. In the short term, the experience is unpleasant b. But in the long term, we benefit by such “training”! CONCLUSION 1. Whether “corrective” or “instructive” chastisement, it is always for our good...! a. It may be grievous - He 12:11a b. But it will produce “the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” - He 12:11b 2. “Corrective” chastisement can mostly be avoided... a. By correcting ourselves - cf. 1 Co 11:31-32 b. Which we can do by taking heed to God’s Word - cf. Jn 15:2-3 Sermons From Hebrews 100
Mark A. Copeland 3. But even when we heed the “instructive” chastisement through the Word of God, we may still experience some form of tribulation... a. Such as persecution for the cause of Christ b. Brought on by Satan, working in and through the world - 1 Pe 5:8-9 c. Not because we are wicked, but because we are righteous! (like Job) -- Yet God can use even that to provide a form of “instructive” discipline, in which the good are made even better! May the prayer expressed by Peter help us to endure should we experience such tribulation... “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Pe 5:10-11) Sermons From Hebrews 101
