Scripture Post #1,056: *FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*

Hebrews 12:

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Hebrews 12:11-13 explains how chastisement isn't a joyous occasion, but a grievous one. But after chastisement, fruit is yielded—*FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*. We will begin to produce Godliness and bring about maturity. Also, we are empowered to straighten our paths. This happens through GOD chastening us.
