[[-SOAP HUB]] [[-Malachi Overview]] [[Malachi 02]] ## Title: The Purpose of God’s Covenant ## Scripture: (Malachi 2:5) “My covenant with him was designed to bring life and peace. I gave its statutes to him to fill him with awe, and he indeed revered me and stood in awe before me. (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever thought about why we have most of what is present in God’s Word? If you think about it, all we truly need to know is the state of our sin, our need for a Savior, and how to get to the Savior. If that is the case, why do we need all the rest? God’s Word provides the answer. The reason for the rest is to bring life and peace to our lives. God’s Word is for us. He doesn’t need it. He is already perfect in all things. God’s Word gives us the ability to find Him in all things so we can find life and peace. ## Application: Do you read God’s Word just to acquire knowledge or do you read God’s Word to let it change you from the inside out? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being interested in all of us and bringing complete peace.
