Discipline in the Fellowship — Part Three

Though it’s initially painful, God uses discipline for our good: as we grow in holiness, we will gain long-term joy. A superficial unity at the expense of obedience to God’s Word leads to shallow fellowship and fragile witness. On the other hand, taking sin seriously and following God’s process for restoration will produce a harvest of righteousness. From Hebrews 12, Alistair Begg teaches that discipline establishes our identity as God’s children and magnifies our Savior.
