Incomparable Christ
Hebrews 12: 3-13
The ENCOURAGEMENT of God’s Discipline – v. 3-6
- God’s discipline REFINES us, it purifies us, it molds us and SHAPES us into the men and women God created us to be
- God’s discipline draws us CLOSER to Him
- God’s discipline draws us AWAY from sin
The EXPECTATION of God’s Discipline – v. 7-8
- God’s discipline gives EVIDENCE that we are a child of God
- God’s lack of discipline gives evidence that we are NOT a child of God
The EXAMPLE of God’s Discipline – v. 9-10
- EARTHLY parents discipline their children for the same reason God disciplines his children – because we love them and want them to grow into the men/women they were created to be
- God always discipline us for our GOOD, in the right manner, at the right time to draw us CLOSER to Him
The EXPERIENCE of God’s Discipline – v. 11-13
- Understand that God’s discipline sets things RIGHT
- Understand that God’s discipline STRENGTHENS our faith
- Understand that God’s discipline helps keep us on the NARROW path where life and godliness are found as opposed to the BROAD road where death and destruction are found
