GOD HOLDS HIS CHILDREN ACCOUNTABLE!

 THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD:  

FULL DISCLOSURE ON THE LIFE 

OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD!

Deuteronomy 8:5 - You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.  

Job 5:17-18 - Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects:  therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty:  for He makes sore, and binds up:  He wounds, and His hands make whole.

Psalm 94:11-14 - The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.  Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, and teaches him out of Your law; that You may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.  For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.

Psalm 118:16-18 - The right hand of the LORD is exalted:  the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.  I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.  The LORD has chastened me sore:  but He has not given me over unto death.

Proverbs 3:11-13 - My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction:  for whom the LORD loves He corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights: Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.

Proverbs 13:24 - He that spares his rod hates his son:  but he that loves him chastens him betimes (early; swiftly; at appropriate times).

Proverbs 19:18 - Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.

Isaiah 26:16 - LORD, in trouble have they visited You, they poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

1 Corinthians 11:29-32 - For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning (reverencing) the Lord's body.  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Hebrews 12:5-12 - And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked of Him:  for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.  If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?  But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence:  shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.  Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous:  nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto those who are exercised thereby.

Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:  be zealous therefore, and repent.

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT TO BELIEVERS;

SANCTIFICATION WILL COST US!
