Bat, long Bible discipline hem no olsem. Wise King Solomon raet olsem: “Discipline bilong Jehovah, O son bilong mi, no rejectim.” (Proverbs 3:11) Toktok hia no storyim eni kaen discipline, bat hem storyim “discipline bilong Jehovah,” wea minim discipline wea garem faondeson long olketa haefala principle bilong God. Datkaen discipline nomoa bae helpem man long spiritual wei and tu, man bae wantem. Long wei wea difren, discipline wea garem faondeson long tingting bilong man wea againstim olketa haefala principle bilong Jehovah hem planti taem spoelem and mekem man feel pain. Dastawe planti pipol tingim discipline olsem nogud samting.

Why nao iumi kasem encouragement for acceptim discipline bilong Jehovah? Bible storyim discipline wea God givim olsem samting wea showimaot love bilong hem for olketa man. Dastawe, Solomon go ahed for sei: “Man wea Jehovah lovem hem repruvim, olsem wanfala dadi hem duim long son wea hem hapi long hem.”—Proverbs 3:12.

Discipline or Panis —Hao Nao Tufala Difren?

Discipline wea Bible storyim hem garem planti saed—wei for givim direction, instruction, training, repruv, for stretem, and tu for panis. Bat evritaem, Jehovah givim discipline from love nao muvim hem, and goal bilong hem for helpem man wea go rong. No enitaem, discipline wea Jehovah givim for stretem man hem for panisim hem nomoa.

Hao nao olketa wei for givim panis hia hem “showim wanfala example bilong samting wea bae kasem pipol wea no followim God”? Long leta bilong Paul for olketa long Thessalonica, hem point kam long taem bilong iumi olsem taem wea God, thru long Son bilong hem Jesus Christ, bae “pei bak long olketa wea no savve long God and olketa wea no obeyim gud nius.” Paul sem moa: “Olketa hia bae kasem panis for finis evribit.” (2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9) Hem klia hao kaen panis olsem hem no for teachim or mekem kamap moabeta olketa wea kasem datwan. Bat, taem Jehovah invaetem olketa worshiper bilong hem for acceptim discipline bilong hem, hem no minim wei wea hem panisim olketa sinner wea no repent.

Hem important for lukim hao Bible hem no storyim Jehovah olsem man for givim panis nomoa. Winim datwan, Bible planti taem storyim hem olsem wanfala loving teacher and datwan wea givim training witim patient fasin. (Job 36:22; Psalm 71:17; Isaiah 54:13) Tru nao, discipline from God wea hem givim for stretem man hem evritaem join witim love and patient fasin. Thru long wei for minim purpose bilong discipline, hem bae moa isi for olketa Christian acceptim and givim discipline witim stretfala tingting.
