Devaluing Godly Devotion

When we aren’t rewarded for our religious efforts, we tend to think our devotion is in vain. Our obedience should not be used as a bargaining tactic to get what we want.

Devaluing Godly Devotion

When we aren’t rewarded for our religious efforts, we tend to think our devotion is in vain. Our obedience should not be used as a bargaining tactic to get what we want.

Scripture
Malachi 3:13-18

Rebellious People (3:13-15)

God says you speak hard words against Him when you say:

  1. It is vain to serve God.
  2. What profit is there in serving God?
  3. Evildoers prosper and God lets them escape.
  • The people thought it was vain to serve God because they did not understand and know God.
  • God does not bless improper attitudes and wrong motives.
  • God’s silence and longsuffering should not be taken as approval of evildoers; judgment is coming.

Faithful Remnant (3:16-18)

  • The faithful remnant fears the Lord and esteems God’s name.
  • The faithful remnant is God’s treasured possession and he spares them.
  • God draws a distinction between the righteous and the wicked.
