Hebrews 12:6

Jesus
God's loveIdentity and self-worthTrials and adversity

4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.

For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”

7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
