Justice: A Study in Amos

DAY 2 OF 8

What does it say?

Even though the Lord chose the people of Israel out of all the families of the earth, He declared, “They do not know how to do right.”

What does it mean?

God had selected Israel for a unique relationship. They were the people through whom the Messiah would come into the world. The Lord had revealed Himself to the people of Israel and promised to be their Protector. Throughout their history, He had also provided His prophets to warn and guide them. However, the people had not kept His laws or heeded the prophets and were now at the point where they could no longer distinguish right from wrong. Hosea compared Israel’s relationship with God to two people trying to walk in sync yet not agreeing on which path to take – it was an impossible task.

How should I respond?

It is impossible for two people to be close to each another if they disagree on important issues in life; the same is true of our relationship with God. Our relationship with Him suffers when we sin because we choose to walk out of sync with Him. Since the Bible is the only true measure for knowing right from wrong, it is the only reliable guide for maintaining a close personal relationship with Christ. What distracts you from spending time in God’s Word? What area of disobedience has you on a path other than God’s plan? Walking in sync with God starts with one step of obedience followed by another.

About this Plan

Justice: A Study in Amos

Written by the shepherd-prophet Amos, this book exposes Israel's sinful religious hypocrisy and corrupt leadership. Amos prophesies against their rejection of God's law and the terrible social injustice perpetrated against the poor and vulnerable. As Amos foretells judgment on many nations, including Israel, we are reminded of the ultimate need for restoration and the promise of greater redemption.
