The sermon, based on Malachi 3, addresses God's coming as both a refiner and judge. In response to the people's hard-hearted question, "Where is the God of justice?", Malachi declares that God is not distant but will come in refining power. This prophecy points to Christ's first and second comings, where He divides, purifies, and judges. The message highlights two possible responses: recrimination, where accusations are hurled back at God, or reverence, marked by repentance, spiritual fellowship, and meditation on God's character. Christ's refining work purifies those who revere Him while condemning rebellion. The sermon urges believers to humbly bow before Christ, the Refiner, and return to Him in repentance, as He treasures those who fear and honor Him. |
