Commentary on Proverbs 3:12
Divine discipline proves sonship and covenant relationship (Hebrews 12:6-8). The Hebrew 'yakah' (corrects) implies not vindictive punishment but pedagogical reproof aimed at restoration. God's fatherly love is demonstrated precisely through discipline that conforms us to Christ's image, evidencing His commitment to our sanctification.
