Untitled Sermon

Reformation Baptist Church

After being encouraged to not despise the chastening of the Lord, in this week's passage we hear of the purpose of that chastening. While the best human father chastens according to his wisdom and understanding, he will always fall short. That is not true with God. God knows with perfect and complete knowledge exactly how to train His children. He will correct those who are His. It can be very painful, but in the end He will cause the peaceable fruit of righteousness to be produced. We need to chose to count it all joy in trials because by faith we know that they are sent by God for our good.
