Malachi: A Message of God's Refining Love.

“Malachi speaks to the hearts of a troubled people whose circumstances of financial insecurity, religious skepticism, and personal disappointments are similar to those God’s people often experience or encounter today. The book contains a message that must not be overlooked by those who wish to encounter the Lord and his kingdom and to lead others to a similar encounter. It’s message concerns God’s loving and holy character and his unchanging and glorious purposes for his people. Our God calls his people to genuine worship, to fidelity both to himself and to one another, and to expectant faith in what he is doing and says he will do in this world and for his people.” – E. Ray Clendenen, The New American Commentary, Vol. 21A: Haggai, Malachi, 238. “Within the comprehensive theme of God’s love for his people, this [book] establishes that Israel’s adversities were not due to the fact that the Lord had changed but because of the people’s habit of turning away from God’s decrees.” – Peter A. Verhoef, The Books of Haggai and Malachi, 163. “Malachi was a prophet of both malediction and benediction, because he preached a God who was altogether fair in his dealings with people.” – Robert L. Alden, “Malachi” in The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, 705.
