God promised life and peace to those who would call on His name in awe and reverence. We too can take hold of the perfect purpose and plan that God has promised. 

Despite the brokenness of man, God declared through Malachi that He would raise up true worshippers from around the globe. Through Jesus we get the opportunity to participate in God’s plan of eternal praise. 

Like a loving father correcting his child, God must address the shortcomings of His people. In this passage from the book of Malachi, God addresses the error of apathy and calls us to worship Him with passion. 

From the beginning of time, God has been demonstrating and declaring his perfect and complete love for us. Through the prophet Malachi, we can peer into the splendor of this love. 

Like a bullhorn held to the mouth of an announcer, the prophet functions as God’s mouthpiece, proclaiming truth to the people of God. In this introductory text of Malachi, we come face to face with the active Word of the living God.
