Hebrews 12:10 ” Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness.”

The discipline of our earthly fathers is limited by time and by their fallible wisdom. But our Heavenly Father’s discipline was planned from the beginning of time by His infinite wisdom…for “our good”, (our benefit and advantage)…making us holy as He is holy. (I Peter 1:15-16) God’s Divine discipline is always out of His immense love for us, unlike earthly discipline which can serve as punishment. That’s because God’s ultimate goal in His discipline is always purposeful…conforming us more and more to His character and moral purity.
