Study
3 From the Book of Malachi is: Malachi 3:7 – 4:6
With
this lesson, we end the book of Malachi and tomorrow we start with the book of
James
1. Of what are
the people accused in 3:7-15? What must we make our chief concern if we wish to
obtain God’s promised blessings? Cf. Pr.
3:9, 10; Mt. 6:30-33; 16:25; Lk. 6:38. In what practical ways ought I to
respond to this call?
2. Two
different classes of people are described in 3:13-16. To which do you belong?
The wicked may seem to have the best of it, but God says here that, in contrast
to present circumstances, He is going to make a day (3:17 and 4:3) in which the
righteous and the wicked shall be openly distinguished and justly recompensed.
How will this be effected? Cf. 4:1, 2 with 2 Thes. 1:7-10; 1 Jn. 2:28; 3:2;
Rev. 6:15-17.
Note
3:11 ‘the devourer’ i.e., the locust.
