In this concluding sermon we see that the recipients of Malachi’s prophecy are broken up into two groups. Those who have rejected God and are under his judgement. The righteous remnant that reveres the name of the Lord and await His reward. God’s people must be prepared for the coming Day of the Lord. 1. The Make Believers and the Real Believers in the Present - (3:13-18) 2. The Make Believers and the Real Believers in the Future - (4:1-3) 3. A Final Charge to All - (4:4-6)

Before You Say I Quit

Malachi's correction and rebuke of Israel will aid us in our progressive sanctification as new covenant believers. The call is for us to be faithful to the covenant community, God’s Word, and to our marriages. To view the importance of marriage fidelity the way God does. 1.
