Heart Ablaze: Lesson 11: Whom God Loves, John Bevere
https://messengerinternational.org/churches-leaders/explore-the-messages/a-heart-ablaze/ (Bible study at work over lunch!)
God loves us and disciplines us as a good father disciplines his children out of love.
Discipline is severe because my disobedience impacts others.
God cares to discipline us so that we can partake in God’s character.
What walking the narrow path looks like:
Fool sees his own thoughts and life as the measure of wisdom (Proverbs 12:15; 14:16; 18:2) a fool is deceived
Correction without repentance has no value
Be zealous and repent
Repentance is the doorway into God’s blessing
1 John 3:2 says we’ll be just like Jesus, so one of us is going to have to change.
Grace gives us the ability to walk in the fear of the Lord and hear his voice
