Malachi 3 - Introduction

Will A Man Rob God?

Malachi Three

God's prophets had powerful messages for the people of their days. They also gave information concerning the coming of the Messiah and His work. Malachi does exactly that in this chapter. He tells of the forerunner who prepared the way for the coming of Christ and then he wrote of the Christ, Himself. God's terrible judgment will come against sinners that were not purified by the cleansing blood of Jesus. Strong rebukes were given against the Jews for their unfaithfulness in giving. They had robbed God. If they would repent and do right God would bless them abundantly. Malachi rebuked the people for their hard speech against God. There will one day be a final judgment of separation between the righteous and wicked. Let us prepare now for eternity with Christ.
