MALACHI
1:1-2:17 - God looks upon us in our sin.
What does He see?
He sees ‘the Wicked Land.
He sees ‘a people always under the wrath of the Lord’ (1:4).
He looks at what Christ has done for us - ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’; ‘While we were still sinners, Christ died for us’; ‘Christ died for our sins’ (1 Timothy 1:15; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3).
God looks upon us in Christ - and everything is so very different: ‘God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God’ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
There, at the Cross of Christ, we hear God’s Word of love - ‘I have loved you’; ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love’ (1:2; Jeremiah 31:3).
3:1-4:6 - God calls us to be His faithful people.
He says, ‘Return to Me’.
He promises to bless those who return to Him: ‘I will return to you’.
God calls us to honour Him with our ‘tithes and offerings: ‘Bring the whole tithe (tenth) into the storehouse...’.
When we honour the Lord, He has promised that He will honour us: ‘Those who honour Me, I will honour’.
When we honour the Lord with our obedience, He promises that He will honour us with His blessing.
He promises to ‘open the windows of heaven and pour down for us an overflowing blessing’.
Satan - ‘the devourer’ - will be defeated.
We will ‘serve God’.
He will take ‘delight’ in us.
We will be His ‘treasured possession’ (3:8-12,17-19; 1 Samuel 2:30).
