Punishment and discipline may seem the same when measured by the suffering one endures. The suffering in this life may be no more for the person who is punished for his guilt, as the Christian who is only being disciplined by his Parent. The type of punishment may not seem any different, but there is a difference in the mind of the punisher. In one case, God punishes the sinner because he is angry with the sinner. Justice must be served, God’s law must be honored, and respect for him maintained. In the other, God does not punish the believer to satisfy his justice, but for the training of his child. He afflicts him to benefit him. His goal is to improve his child.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Charles Haddon Spurgeon" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/charles-haddon-spurgeon/it-is-necessary-to-recognize-the-difference-between-punishment-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/213/charles-haddon-spurgeon-4749_children_it-is-necessary-to-recognize-the-differe_1590433.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/213/charles-haddon-spurgeon-4749_children_it-is-necessary-to-recognize-the-differe_1590433.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/213/charles-haddon-spurgeon-4749_children_it-is-necessary-to-recognize-the-differe_1590433.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It is necessary to recognize the difference between punishment and discipline.
