The Loved Ones Chastened
from Daily Sermon Station · host Daily Sermon Station
In this sermon on Revelation 3:19, Charles Spurgeon explains that when God allows troubles and suffering in Christians' lives, it's not because He's angry but because He loves them and wants to correct their sins and make them better. He teaches that God first tries to rebuke Christians gently through sermons, conscience, or circumstances, but if they ignore these warnings, He uses harder discipline like sickness, financial loss, or the death of loved ones to correct sins like loving people or money more than God, pride, and spiritual laziness. Spurgeon emphasizes that every painful thing Christians experience comes from God's love and is designed to help them, not punish them, while he also warns unbelievers that they face God's judgment without any loving purpose behind their suffering since they don't belong to Him and need to turn to Jesus for salvation.Sermon delivered on November 22, 1857.
