In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
In your struggle against sin
“the sin”

And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
Forgotten the exhortation
The use of Proverbs 3:11-12 below is meant to both rebuke and encourage the congregation
Clearly, they’ve forgotten the exhortation
Addresses you as sons
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
This is not an ancient text for a previous generation, but one inspired by the Holy Spirit meant for “today”
Do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord
Discipline is training youth via discipline and correcting errors
Discipline includes both instruction and correction
Nor be weary when reproved by him
Reproved is verbal correction
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives
Chastises His people so they do not continue in sin
Discipline signifies God’s favor upon His children
Hebrews 12:7-11 - Discipline Leads to Holiness
It is for discipline that you have to endure.
Discipline
What discipline are they facing?
PERSECUTION

You have to endure

RUN THE RACE UNTIL THE END
God is treating you as sons.
God
Treating you as sons
Here is why we endure, BECAUSE WE ARE HIS!
Discipline proves, once again, they are truly His
For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Left without discipline, in which you all have participated
You are illegitimate children and not sons
Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them.
Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
We have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them
Why do we respect a good father’s discipline?
It is meant for the goodness/well-being of the child
The child respects the father because they realize the father truly loves them
The son lovingly and humbly acknowledges the greater honor of the earthly father
Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live
