Proverbs 10:17

He who learns from instruction and correction is on the (right) path of life (and for others his example is a path toward wisdom and blessing), But he who ignores and refuses correction goes off course (and for others his example is a path toward sin and ruin).

The Bible reveals boundaries for safety that are not oppressive or burdensome but how to get the most out of our lives on earth. Boundaries are a good thing! They signify an area of danger that needs to be avoided, and adults need them just as much as children. When we keep our lives open to instruction from God, we can remain humble and open to correction.
