It is true that iron sharpen iron. What that means is, as we grow in Christ, and we congregate and live life with others who are also growing in Christ, we use our experiences, trials, and such to help others in the walk, so that we may become stronger together.
The goal however is what I just said, so we become stronger together. That means that the spirit or intention of the correction or guidance of others is out of pure love, as Christ loves us. This does mean discipline, as being a disciple requires it. However, examine your heart and your intentions. Are they out of love?
