“God treats you as sons.” – Hebrews 12:7
The Second Reading from the Letters to the Hebrews states that God will treat us as sons. God did not set the world in motion and leave us on our own. On the contrary, by our baptism we are brought into the life of the Trinity. We become beloved children of God and receive the grace to grow in wisdom and holiness.
Despite this great gift we have been given, we frequently reject the will of our Father and follow the ways of the world. So just as a loving father on earth corrects his biological children, so does our Father in heaven discipline us so that we can return to the road of righteousness. God wants us to get through the narrow gate so that we can recline at table with Him for eternity in the Kingdom of God.
