Malachi 3 concludes with a stern warning to the arrogant and proud. Their conclusions of God were unwarranted and incorrect. Their warning is coming judgment if they do not fear the Lord. It will be wise for us to take heed to this warning as this text reveals much about our own state as well.

In today's text Israel is told that it is not God who has turned away from the covenant promises, but that it them who need to return to the Lord. They have forsaken the Lord in their greed and in their self righteousness. May we be cautioned of the same things today.

Chapter 2.3

8th Session

Chapter 2.2 (2)

Malachi speaks against the people who were accusing God of rewarding the wicked and going absent on the so-called faithful. There is a coming judgment for all in which all will judged righteously, so we must not be proud to think we are any better than any other. We must instead be faithful to God.
