Life Application New Testament Commentary (God’s Discipline Proves His Love / 12:1–13)

12:7–8

Because God promises to discipline his children, believers must

endure this divine discipline.

The only other choice would be to refuse to endure it,

to pout,

to grow depressed,

or to give up completely.

How much better to remember that, when God disciplines you, he is treating you as his own children.

Christians will experience God’s discipline.

Those who are not disciplined are illegitimate and are not really his children after all.

Under Roman law, illegitimate children also did not receive any inheritance or recognition that came with being a genuine child.

When we experience God’s discipline, we can be encouraged that we really are God’s children.

9 Kut fin nunku nu ke papa tumasr fin faclu uh, elos kai kut ac kut sunakunulos na.

Ouinge, arulana fal kut in akpusiselye kut nu sin Papa tumasr in Ngun, tuh kut in moul!

12:9 The analogy between human fathers and the heavenly Father figures often in Jesus’ teachings (see Matthew 7:9–11; 21:28–31; Luke 15:11–32).

Here earthly fathers are compared to our heavenly Father.

Verses 7–8 describe the value of discipline and assert that all of God’s children will endure discipline; verses 9–10 teach the parallel between God’s discipline and earthly parental discipline.

All people (or at least the vast majority) had human fathers who disciplined them.

Rarely did that discipline occur out of cruelty; instead, loving fathers would discipline with the children’s best interests in mind.

As a result, they have our respect.

If we respected the discipline of our earthly parents, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our Father in heaven?

Submission to God’s discipline means not trying to wriggle out of it by making excuses or hardening our hearts; instead, it means allowing the discipline to drive us to our knees before God so that he can teach us the lessons he has for us.

When we have this attitude toward God’s discipline, we will live forever—referring to our ability to truly enjoy this life and to look forward to eternity with God.

10 Papa tumasr faclu uh elos kai kut ke kitin pacl, fal nu ke liye lalos; a God El kai kut tuh in wo nu sesr, tuh kut in ipeis ke mutal lal.
