Why does God allow Christians to suffer, and what does suffering accomplish in the life of a believer? In this verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 12:5-11, Pastor Phil Fernandes explains why the discipline of the Lord is evidence of a Father who loves His children. Hebrews teaches believers not to despise God’s discipline or become discouraged during trials, but to recognize that God uses suffering, correction, and hardship to train His people and make them more like Jesus Christ.
