IS ANYONE WORTHY
Part 1
The why:
Malachi 1:1-2
1This is the burden of the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi:
2“I have loved you,” says the LORD.
Malachi 2:17
17You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied
Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He
delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”
(BY ACCUSING HIM OF NOT BEING JUST)
Malachi 3:1-5
1“Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me.a Then the Lord
whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom
you delight—see, He is coming,” says the LORD of Hosts.
2But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He
will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.
3And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine
them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the LORD in righteousness.
4Then the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD, as in days of old and
years gone by.
5“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers
and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against
those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear
Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.
