Misinterpreting Love

Hebrews 12:6

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Hebrews 12:6 NLTse version

6 For the LORD disciplines those he loves,

and he punishes each one he accepts as his child."

The definition of Love has been highjacked!

Love in today’s world is-

⁃ Gifts

⁃ Permission to break the rules

⁃ Favoritism

⁃ Special Attention

⁃ Autonomy

Some of this list is true but not the “Gift of Love”

Rather some are consequences to Love..

While Others are out right wrong…

God is the Creator

The Creator of “Love”

Says, Love (disciplines) or corrects your behavior or thinking

Love also (punishes) as a tool to remind us of “Disobedience’s” consequences…

All of this is to Save us from danger… (eternal damnation)

Do Not “Misinterpret” God’s Love!

It might seem painful but The Father knows what’s best for you…

That is “If” you are one of His!

He Will Love You…
