699. Robbing God

“Will a Man Rob God?” Mal_3:8

God has to chide His people when they fail to recognise what belongs to Him. Malachi indicates how we may steal in connection with Himself.

1. We rob Him of obedience when we depart out of His way—Mal_3:5.

2. We rob Him of reverence when we profane His holiness—Mal_3:10.

3. We rob Him of allegiance when we oppress those in need—Mal_3:5.

4. We rob Him of worship when we neglect His ordinances—Mal_3:7.

5. We rob Him of His rights when we fail to give Him His tithes—Mal_3:8.

6. We rob Him of glory when we misrepresent Him, by saying what is not absolutely true—Mal_3:14, Mal_3:15.
