Read the passage: Malachi 2
v. 1 1) Until God’s report is heard, any accolade or grade presumed is premature.
Seek God’s approving
v.2 2) Live out your calling- to give God glory.
v.2 3) Be quick to yield to repentance.
Don’t debate with God, defend your action (make excuses) or delay obedience to God.
Repentance is a response of faith toward God
Repent and renew the commitment of your heart to God.
v. 3 4) Protect the future of future Godly seed.
v.4 5) Look for God’s dispatched word in your time of need.
v. 5 6) Abide (continue) in covenant relationship with God.
Fear God’s name. Know God’s issued change in your life.
Trust God. He will keep His word.
v. 6, 7) Guard your speech from error.
7 Walk in peace and equity.
Lead those in error out of deception by the pathway of truth.
Realize you are a messenger of truth to others.
v, 8 8) You believe there is only one way; continually follow that one way.
Ye are not born of the law. Don’t attempt to lead by the law; don’t impose the law upon
another.
To deny or reject grace is to impose rule by law.
Works do not substitute for grace.
v. 9 9) Increased effort is not what gains God’s favor; following God’s way gains God’s favor.
Follow equal standards with God.
Respect God’s view of equity.
v. 10 10) Value brotherly relationships- Contribute brotherly love.
No partiality. God is not a respector of persons.
No double standards. No division.
