The term “discipline” in English comes from a root word which means “instruction and training,” and that’s exactly what it is. Discipline is the process by which parents instruct their children and train them up in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). In the same way, a “disciple” of Jesus Christ is someone who is being trained in the way of Christ.
