"You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins." Amos 3:2
God's promise to punish was spoken to none but Israel, His only family.
Israel belongs to God by His own choice.
And so does every born again child of God.
He chose us from the foundation of the world and made it evident when He so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son to save sinners and adopt them, one by one, into His family.
You are not a "happen-stance". You are a chosen son or daughter of the Heavenly Father; God.
As such, He has the responsibility of training you up in the way you should go, which includes disciplining when needed.
If He doesn't, who will?
So, praise God that He loves you enough not to "spare the rod".
