Malachi’s Fifth Oracle: Obey God (3:7-12)
The charge of disobedience (3:7a)
Israel’s question of the charge (3:7b)
The specification of the charge: Robbery (3:8a)
Israel’s repeated question of the charge (3:8b)
The proof of the charge (3:8c–9)
The sin: Failure to give tithes and offerings (3:8c)
The curse (3:9)
The promise of blessing (3:10–12)
What does this mean for the church today?
While not requiring a tithe of believers today, the New Testament does speak of God’s blessing on those who give generously to the needs of the church and especially to those who labor in the Word (Acts 4:31–35; 2 Cor.
9:6–12; Gal.
6:6; Phil.
4:14–19).
So, is it appropriate to ask the question of the modern church member, “have you robbed God?”
When you consider the verses I just read to you and you refuse to give to the Lord’s church, the answer is yes!
