~ Discipline / Training in Scripture, 3of4 ~
Series
Note
~ A constant reality is that it takes effort to develop and maintain good
habits. Unfortunately; we effortlessly develop bad habits.
To
combat this fact of mankind’s fallen nature requires consistent effort. This is
why personal discipline is vitally important. Simply stated the bottom-line is
that to fulfill our responsibility to become increasingly Christ-like we must
exercise continual discipline.
Scripture ~ “Now no
chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless,
afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have
been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11).
Comment
~ We are all disciplined (or trained) in one way or another! Trained in
Godliness or trained in lust, gossip, lying, dishonesty, covetousness,
selfishness, etc.
The New Testament has only four passages that specifically speak
of training. Three passages are presented in a positive way and the other
presents a negative aspect of training.
