30. DISCIPLINE

In the Bible, the word for "discipline" is not just another word for punishment.  When we are disciplined, we are instructed, educated, and corrected.  Jehovah is never abusive or cruel to those he disciplines.  (Proverbs 4:1, 2)  Jehovah sets a beautiful example for parents.  The discipline he gives is so effective that a person can actually come to love discipline.  (Proverbs 12:1)  Jehovah loves his people, and he trains them.  He gives them instruction that corrects wrong ideas and that helps them to learn to think and act in way that pleases him.  For parents, discipline includes helping their children to understand the reasons why they  should be obedient. It also means teaching them to love Jehovah, as well as to love his Word, the Bible, and to understand its principles.
