The Bible says quite a bit about correction, and how important it is. It even goes so far as to say that correction is a good thing, and that those who receive it should be thankful for it.<\/p>\n

The Bible is clear that correction is a vital part of the Christian life. Hebrews 12:5-11 says, “And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? ‘My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.’ It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”<\/p>\n

What does the Bible say about reproof and correction? <\/h2>\n

All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and for training in righteousness. This will make the servant of God competent, equipped for every good work.<\/p>\n

This proverb is a reminder that discipline is important, and that those who disregard it will end up regretting it. It also reminds us that those who listen to correction and take it to heart will end up gaining wisdom and understanding.<\/p>\n
