Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy." Correction is often a hard thing to hear and heed. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ and part of that relationship involves us holding each other accountable. At times, God himself will come and try to steer us back to the right path. In both cases we hear something we don't like: that we messed up. At that point we have two choices: one, to heed the correction and find the right path again, and so be restored to where we want to be; two, to ignore and stay on the path of sinfulness and isolation. Only one leads to God. While correction is hard, it is sometimes necessary, for we all, at times, wander (even if it's just a little) from God's path. Correction keeps us from wandering too far, and we need to heed it when it comes. God bless you.
