God’s discipline is always connected to God’s love, but that doesn’t mean that the consequences of sin can be ignored. Justice is necessary so that mercy will have a foothold in us. They go hand-in-hand. In God’s response to Adam and Eve’s original sin, we find the perfect intermingling of compassion and discipline. It’s easy to see God’s unconditional love as a gift, but sometimes harder to remember that discipline is equally as important. Thank God this week for both.
