Bible Survey: Part ThreeSample

Although Amos is from Judah, he is sent to Israel to preach. This is a time of peace and prosperity for Israel, but also a time when the people are not following God. In earlier chapters Amos has told them that various nations will be judged. Today’s chapter focuses on Israel and the coming destruction. The altars to their false gods will also be destroyed. Amos is warning the people that turning back to the God who had previously rescued them from Egypt is the only way.

Maybe God has rescued you in many ways, but the most important is when He sent His Son to die on a cross for us. When we look at that, we should be reminded to follow God alone.
