(KJV.) REVELATION 3:19
(19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
THE LOVE OF GOD!
Grace be unto you! God is Love! cf. 1 John 4:8; he loves his children so dearly that whenever he hears their cries, his bowels yearn, to intervene, wipe away their tears, comfort them with hearts desires.
As an earthly Father loves his children, to train them with godly manners, teach them how to have respect for elders, keep themselves from wrong associations, be responsible for wrong choices, actions, and behaviors; reproves, counsel, or chastens them when in disobedience to his words, to guide and order their footsteps in his righteousness; guess what? it is the same with God, our heavenly Father, physically, we can not perceive his hands of chastening upon our souls; yet, at times, he can do more chastening to a stubborn child than what an earthly Father would normally do; regardless, he chastens not to hurt our feelings, because he feels our sadness when we hurt and cry; but out of love, he chastens to reprimand his children to turn away from waywardness to godliness.
The fact is, he does not chasten without initial warnings, hear me, warnings, he gives his children his warnings, times and times again to correct themselves, before he uses his parental authority over them; therefore, let us listen to obey the words of Jesus Christ, whatever he says, let's do it, without hesitations to receive his blessings, avoid the enemy chastening; at times, the enemy of our souls, who had made himself the disciplinarian of men, though, he infiltrates our hearts to go against the words of God, turns around, allegates and bring afflictions upon our souls, whenever we walk in disobedience to the words of God; though, the concept of chastening is to correct the soul to walk in righteousness, not all chastening come from God, the Father; many chastenings are the enemy of our souls, but God, the Father allows him, until we correct ourselves, pray, cry out to him, then, he rebukes the enemy away from us; therefore, God is not a respecter of man, cf. Acts 10:34; therefore, let us walk in obedience to his words to avoid chastenings.
Beloved, we all at certain points in our lives, have walked in ways displeasing to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; however, he does not condemn anyone for wrongdoings on earth, he cautions souls to turn away from waywardness, repent, come into his righteousness, have salvation, free grace, and everlasting life; he does not give up on souls but continues to beckon them to come, once we sleep in death, our spirits are accessible to judgment before Jesus, there is no turning back, no more forgiveness, repentance, but either damnation or everlasting life; therefore, let's fervently seek life! Jesus is coming back again soon! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
WORD OF WISDOM:
(KJV.) Proverbs 12:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
