:a call for pure worship Malachi :a call for pure worship

Question of the morning: Is the God of the OT different than the God of the NT?

Addressing an objection… The problem with Christianity today: “Our incessant habit of reaching back into the Old Covenant concepts, teachings, sayings, and narratives.” (p. 91) Modern Christianity relies too much on the Old Testament. Proposed Solution: “Unhitching our teaching of what it means to follow Jesus from all things Old Covenant.” (p. 315)

Background Date: Malachi was most likely a contemporary of Ezra and Nehemiah (mid-fifth century B.C.) Circumstances: - Political insignificance - Subjugation to a foreign power - Persistent opposition from their neighbors - An inferior temple

Reading section by section… Main points/themes. Does this present God with a different character than what we see in the NT? Potential applications for today:

Section 1: Mal. 1:1-5 God has a covenantal love for the Israelites. Does God have a covenantal love for His people today? Potential applications for today:

Section 2: Mal. 1:6-2:9 God is rejecting Israel because they no longer honor or fear him. Does God expect honor and fear from His people today? Potential applications for today:

Section 3: Mal. 2:10-16 God judges Israel because of faithless husbands. (husbands divorcing their wives) Does God still demand husbands be faithful to their wives? Potential applications for today:

Section 4: Mal. 2:17... (grievance 1) God judges Israel because they declare evil to be good. Does God still condemn evil and those who declare evil to be good? Potential applications for today:

Section 4: Mal. 2:17… (grievance 2) The Israelites accuse God of being unjust. Are we allowed to accuse God of being unjust today? Potential applications for today:
