Bible Question: How does God Chasen someone who wants to repent? Are we Chasened before and during the process of salvation? |
Bible Answer: Hi, God chastens us in many ways. In Hebrews 12 it was through harassment and persecution (probably from Jewish teachers) which had not yet reached the stage of martyrdom (verse 4). In 1 Corinthians 11.30 it was through sickness; compare 2 Corinthians 12.7. In other cases it can be through a troubled conscience or a heart that cannot find ease (Psalm 73). In other cases it can be through the circumstances of life (compare Jacob). God has His own personal ways of dealing with each one of us. Chastening takes place during the process of salvation. It is a case of the Father dealing with His children (Hebrews 12.1-13). What happens before salvation is not strictly of a Father chastening His son, but is more like the goad which ensures that the oxen does as it is told (Acts 26.14). However it has the same result.
