07/28 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! That you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 For in your struggle you have not had to suffer what others have. (And have not struggled so fierce we sweat blood like our Lord did in Gethsemane.) 5 And have you forgotten this, that speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the LORD, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is for discipline {and testing as testing metals to purify and strengthen}. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father does not correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, have we not had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them? Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and receive Life? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed fitting to them, but he disciplines us for our benefit, that we may share his character and nature of holiness. {By being a temple for his Spirit/Presence. He is Life, Love, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48.}
