The Message of Malachi

Description

The book of Malachi fittingly sits in Christian Bibles as the last book of the Old Testament, which it assumes, summarizes, and applies.
Yet it also looks forward to the New Testament with its promises of the coming reign of God.
A striking feature of the book is the people of God’s inconsistent faithfulness. God’s people neither serve God wholeheartedly nor turn entirely away in blatant disobedience. But God persists in speaking to them, showing his grace in close proximity to their sin. Malachi reveals God’s unfailing love and reminds God’s people to keep this conviction central.
