Taking Dominion Through Wisdom - Day 56
Taking Dominion Through Wisdom - Day 56 How the New Testament Applies the Proverbs - Proverbs 3:12
In Hebrews 12:1-11, the author applies the Proverbs to Christians, who were going through immense persecution. Due to their commitment to Christ, these Jewish Christians were killed, thrown into prison, possessions were confiscated, and they were not allowed to conduct business. Consider the historical context, how would you comfort these Christians? The author of Hebrews comforts them by reminding them - God loves you.
The author is teaching them (and us) that God loves those He chastens. The author wants them to understand that everything they were going through was ordained of God. The thrust of the passage is - if you are sons of God, then He cares for you. Why does He do this? He does this in order that we might partake in His holiness. The ultimate goal is for us to experience the peaceable fruit of righteousness.
What is the takeaway for us? If we are experiencing difficulties, then as His children we need to consider what areas of our lives need to be addressed. God wants us to stop going after the ways of the world, He wants us to be humble and meek (the meek shall inherit the earth), He wants to purge impurities out of our lives, He wants us to return to the pathway of righteousness, and demonstrate that our trust is in Him alone. Do you desire holiness and the peaceable fruit of righteousness? Then heed the teachings of Wisdom and don't despise the chastisement of God.
