12/22/24 Malachi

In the last of the 6 conversations that God has with His people, He tells them that what they are saying about Him is hard on HIm. While God has reassured them that He loves them, will care for them in true righteousness and justice, they have refused to listen. Instead they essentially say that God is not true, that He lies: saying He blesses the righteous when He actually blesses the wicked.
As always, in Malachi's day, and in ours, those who hear God's Word and receive it humbly, God marks as His own, treasured possession. They will rejoice when Christ returns while the unrighteous will face judgement.
