“Judgment on Israel and Judah”

Lesson: Amos 2:4-8

GOLDEN TEXT:

“Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Judah, and for

four, I will not turn away the punishment therefore; because they have

despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept His command-

ments” (Amos 2:4).

TODAY’S AIM:

“To see the elements of the judgment God was about to bring upon

Israel and Judah as a response to their sin.

INTRODUCING THE LESSON:

“To the casual observer, corruption and dishonesty of all kinds are

ruling the day. It seems there is no one to correct the evil that is

rampant in the world. God seems to sit silent as people ignore truth

and justice. Does He even notice what is happening? Israel may well

have wondered this, and so may we in our day. But God does see, and

we may be sure that at the right time and in the right way, He will act.

He has done so before, and He will again.

Are we in danger of God’s judgment? How close in terms of years

or of spiritual decay are we to the point that God will bring judgment?

What forms and for how long might that judgment take? How much

of God’s law (if any) can we expect a secular nation to follow? How

many of God’s requirements for a Christian can be violated before

God sends some form of discipline?

PRACTICAL POINTS: 1. Failure to obey God’s declared will is an expression of hatred

toward His commands and ultimately toward Him (Amos 2:4).

2. Sin is not just a mistake that can be easily excused; it is an evil

that is deserving of divine punishment (Amos 2:5).

3. Justice is demanded of all those who claim to follow the God of

justice (Amos 2:6).

4. Focusing only on ourselves will lead us to abuse others and

dishonor God (Amos 2:7).

5. The wicked find acceptance only from the gods they create, not

from the God who created them (Amos 2:8).

Sunday Church School Lesson continued:

CONCLUDING THE LESSON:

“Sin is sin, whether it is a “big” sin or a “small” one! There are

always consequences of sin. God can sovereignly withhold judgment for a

time or forgive it altogether as He chooses. But a nation or an individual

rejects God’s revealed will and the ways He has given for us to live at

great peril. God told Abraham that “the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet

full” (Genesis 15:16). This seems to imply that if they kept it up, a time

would come when God would act in judgment.

God, who loves us, loves us enough to correct us when we are wrong,

even when it comes down to allowing judgment to befall us. He purposes

to restore His children to righteous living and spiritual prosperity. The

unsaved cannot avoid sin. We cannot require righteous living of them.

If they did, they might conclude they had become worthy of salvation and

so never trust Christ and be saved. We who have trusted the Lord Jesus

are called to honor Him in all our attitudes and activities.

Every Sunday - 9:30 a.m.

Deaconess Charmaine Cook, Superintendent

“I Love You!”

I

I love You,

I love You,

I love You Lord today

Because You cared for me

In such a special way

That's why I praise You

I lift You up

And I magnify Your name

That's why my heart is filled with praise.

II

My heart,

My mind,

My soul belongs to You

You paid the price for me

Way back on Calvary

That's why I praise You

I lift You up

And I magnify Your name

That's why my heart is filled with praise.
