The Dignity of the People of God
Malachi 3:17
And they shall be mine, said the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them…


1. The people of God are dignified with the Divine approbation.

2. By the Divine solicitude.

3. By the Divine security.

4. By the Divine regard. They are to Him as jewels.

5. By a Divine promise.I will spare them. Learn from this subject full confidence in God. He has made full provision for you in the obedience and death of Jesus. He will take care of you here, and glorify you with dignity hereafter. Also learn humility; for what maketh you to differ from others but the grace of God alone?

(Hugh Allen, M. A.)
