Our faith is a gift and comes from God. God will see us through. We do not want to be illegitimate children and therefore we need discipline. If we are trusting in Jesus, then God will be sculpting us to be like Jesus. We should learn from the discipline that God gives us.
God's word says that we will suffer. It is better to suffer for doing what is right than suffering for doing what is wrong. What the world is offering is leading to death. We need to do what God calls us to do.
