Proverbs chapter 15 verse 10 - Whoever abandons the right path Will be severely disciplined Whoever hates correction Will die

Hebrews chapter 12 verse 9 - Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us Shouldn't we submit even more to the discipline of the father of our spirit And live forever

2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 to 17 - All scripture is inspired by God And is useful to teach us what is true And to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong And teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people To do every good work.

Friends, correction is a matter of life and death

Correction is powerful

It is the power of change

Correction is how God transforms us

And your attitude to correction communicates your value for life

There's a deception today that is rampant

Where people misinterpret the correctional ability and functionality of God's word For condemnation

And so when scriptures point something out in your life that is wrong

And possibly maybe a teacher of the word does it

The world tends to think that that is condemnation

But forgetting that the word of God is designed to correct us

The discipline of God is not a death blow It is life giving

And if someone is training you, you need to respect them

And respect here doesn't just mean greeting or bowing

It actually means that you are taking the training that they are giving

And that is why a mentor is not just someone who gives you advice But he is someone whose advice you take

Jesus said, as a condition for discipleship That if you want to be my disciples, you must keep my commands

Friends, correction can save you from future destruction

The Bible says that if we take the correction of God, that we will live

The Bible says in Proverbs that if we hate correction, we will die It means that correction is a matter of life and death

So when God through His word Or through His Spirit in you Or through the people of God Who you meet every other day Points something out in your life that you do not agree with But actually challenges you to change

Accept correction because it is life-giving

Have a blessed day friends!
