Commentary on Malachi 3:8

Theological / Devotional

Will a man rob God? Strong language indeed! Mincing no words, Malachi shows specifically in what way the people have “robbed” God: by withholding from Him the “tithes and offerings” that are His due (see Lev. 27:30, 32; Num. 18:21; Neh. 10:37-39).

Offerings. Some fail to realize that it is possible to “rob” God in “offerings” even as in tithe. One who senses his obligations as a steward of God’s bounties will freely give the Lord offerings according to his ability, “as God hath prospered him” (1 Cor. 16:2).
