But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.
Isaiah 53:5, CSB
God is faithful, and His faithfulness grows from His justice. To perform His divine justice, He took the penalty we deserve, faithfully fulfilling the need out of His love for His creation: us.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
1 Peter 2:24, ESV
We are saved in Christ alone, as He took all of our sinfulness, hatred, fear, and hostility on the cross. We can know we are saved, finding healing through the restored relationship with God.
Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:5-6 ESV
It hurts more finding out others did not want to hurt your feelings rather than spare you difficulty and pain by correcting you.
Nip sin in the bud. Confront it in love, with gentleness, and sooner rather than later.
It hurts less than consequences.
