1. God’s Treasure Chest Mal. 3:15-18

2. 16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name. 17 "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." 18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. Mal. 3:16-18
