Pastor Jonathan Kollmann Malachi’s book closes with five areas where we are forced to make monumental decisions. (1) Will you render service to others? Malachi showed that service distinguishes the righteous from the wicked. (2) Will you revere God? God is not to be trifled with. He is a consuming fire, and we should tremble in His presence. (3) Will you remember God’s law? Obedience to God’s will brings the greatest fulfillment. Keeping God’s law doesn’t save Christians, but we can better appreciate and enjoy life by obeying Him. (4) Will you be ready for judgment? Malachi reminds us that the day is coming when we will be treated as either sinners or saints. (5) Will you be rewarded by God? There are no better rewards than those given by God, even though the enemy tries to convince us otherwise.
