HEBREWS 12 : 7
“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children.”
Our sinful nature leads us to evil by ignoring the Word and commands of God. He keeps an eye on us to step in at the right time to correct and save us from eternal separation from Him.
God, in His, love permits pain and suffering to purify us of all evil and be like Him. He tests His children to strengthen their faith in times of trial.
We must review our spiritual state daily and seek God to follow Him, as led by His presence in us!
