Saints, Sinners Sufferers

Every believer, all at once, is a saint, a sufferer, and a sinner. In this study of Hebrews 12, Jonathan Prime exhorts believers to remember 3 things about God’s discipline. First, God's discipline is the proof of his love. Second, it is the confirmation of our legitimacy as his children. And third, God’s discipline is a necessity for our holiness. To ignore God’s discipline is to reject his discipleship. Suffering does not mean that something is wrong, but rather, that God is treating you as his dearly loved child.
