Amos 3:2 KJV
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
There is nothing that could be better than being a child of God.
• Sins forgiven
• Peace with God
• Promise of eternity
• Escape from hell
• Joint heirs with Christ
• Access to the throne of God
• Purpose for living
• Answers to prayer
The list goes on with the privileges that belong to the Christian. It is wonderful! But Israel learned that with that privilege also came responsibility. The Heavenly Father loves his own and therefore chastens them and corrects them that they might be sanctified from this world.
A Christian is free from the chains of sin. But he is not free to live without restraint.
