Scripture Post #1,054: *HOLINESS PARTAKERS*

Hebrews 12:

 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Correction can sting initially, but in the end, it's for our betterment. It may sting for a child to hear their parents correct them from hanging with certain crowds. But that child will realize it was for their betterment, years later, when the majority of the crowd their parents restricted them from are now dead or imprisoned. GOD corrects us for our betterment. "…For our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness." Lying, cussing, thieving, et cetera—these things don't better us, neither do they bring us to the point of holiness; therefore, sin must be corrected, so that we can be bettered, becoming *HOLINESS PARTAKERS*. 

Correction from GOD brings us to HIS holiness.
