Hebrews 12:4-13
1/30/2002
These are the closing words of the book of Hebrews—
this chapter and the 13th chapter. He is making
practical application. All Bible teaching has to be
applied to the life. It is not enough just to
accumulate a variety of Bible facts. Or just catalog
some Bible information. Bible truth is to be taken
into the life and applied to your daily life. This is
a Bible study which you will find very helpful and

chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art
rebuked of him. For whom the Lord loves he chasteneth
and scourges every son whom he receives.”
If you endure chastening God deals with you as with
sons. “For what son is he whom the father chasteneth
not?” (that was certainly true about my dad) “But if
ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers,
then are ye bastards (Illegitimates) and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected us, and we gave them reverence: sh ...
