Come along with us for more:
Five Ways God Influences Us Toward Righteousness
Our loving Heavenly Father desires to affect our lives toward righteous character and godly living. Hebrews 12 indicates five ways He does it:
- He ENCOURAGES us: Verse 5a speaks of His “word of encouragement that addresses us as sons… ” (Greek: paraklesis)
The idea here is one of entreaty, or imploring; much as you would encourage a child whom you want to excel in sports or academics. (See Acts 20:2; Romans 12:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:3)
- He DISCIPLINES us: “Do not make light of the Lord‘s discipline… because the Lord disciplines those He loves… ” (vs. 5a, 6a) (Greek: paidea)
The idea here is one of education: Learning that occurs through the pain of discipline. (See 1 Corinthians 11:32; Hebrews 12:7, 10, 11)
- He REBUKES us: “Do not loose heart when He rebukes you… ” (vs. 12:5b) (Greek: elegcho)
The idea here is one of exposing our deviant behavior. Telling us of our faults. (See Matthew 16:22; Luke 17:3; 1 Timothy 5:1, 20; 2 Timothy 4:2)
- He PUNISHES us: “He punishes everyone He accepts as sons.” (vs. 12:6b) (Greek: mastigoo)
The idea here is one of severe penalization: Whipping a person for the purpose of inflicting suffering. (See Proverbs 22:15; 23:13, 14; 1 Corinthians 10:6; 1 Thessalonians 4:6; Hebrews 10:29)
- He TRAINS us: “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (vs. 12:11) (Greek: gumnazo)
The idea here is of one who is trained (disciplined) by God to live a godly life. We, in kind then, are to exercise ourselves in godly discipline. (See 1 Timothy 4:7; Hebrews 5:14; 2 Timothy 3:16)
We are to respond to His discipline as follows:
- Don’t resist, despise, or make light of it; don’t be discouraged, or grow weary from it (vs. 5).
- Understand it is evidence that we are His spiritual offspring; evidence of His love (vs. 6).
- Don’t try to get out from under it (vs. 7-9).
- Understand that discipline results in holy lives, righteousness, and peace (vs. 10,11).
- Regain your strength and straighten your path as a result of it (vs. 12, 13).
Beloveth… what more can we say than to pray to the Holy Spirit to help us to live righteously… to stand and uphold all God is bring our way to shape and guide us… Amen!!!
Father Thank You for being help us through the journey life… Father guide us to live righteously that at the end we will finish not just well but strong… Amen… Amen…. Amen…
Beloveth let us pray…
