"ACCEPT CORRECTION WHEN YOU ARE WRONG"

2 Timothy 3:16; "All scripture is given by inspiration of God,  and is profitable for doctrine,  for reproof,  for correction,  for instruction in righteousness.

 Some people grow up in homes where it is wrong to apply discipline or chastise them, not even their parents. That explains why even after someone gives their heart to Christ, they still find it hard to accept correction in the house of God. This is not right for a Christian. God's Word is profitable for doctrine, rebuke, correction and instruction in righteousness.

 You must learn to accept correction in the house of God. Because that's one way  the Holy Spirit, through the Word, helps you develop Godly character.

You should be humble and pay attention to your leaders as they instruct you in the Word of God. There are many things that people learn in their natural lives before they come to Christ; things that are not of the Christ nature.

 They are not put away by salvation. Which is why you must renew your mind through meditation on God's Word.

 Ephesians 4:31; "Let all bitterness,  and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,  be put away from you, with all malice. "

 You must yield to the Word to mold your character to be more like Christ.  Refuse to let your senses control you. Don't be prideful when someone corrects you with the Word.

 Accepting rebuke and correction shows humility and your greatness. Truly great people are humble. God's Word is profitable to you.
                 Hallelujah!!!
