The Chastening Of The Lord

God’s chastening is often misunderstood as punishment, but Scripture reveals it as the loving correction of a Father.

In The Chastening Of The Lord, Duane Sheriff brings clarity to the difference between God’s wrath and a Father’s loving discipline. Through Jesus, we have been delivered from wrath, punishment, and the curse of the law. As God’s children, we are unconditionally loved, corrected, trained, and guided by our heavenly Father.

God uses His Word, the Holy Spirit, and godly authority to lovingly correct, discipline, and teach us.  His chastening is never rooted in anger, rejection, or punishment. Instead, it follows from His deep love for His children. Learning to receive His correction is essential to spiritual maturity, producing wisdom, righteousness, and freedom from sin.
