the Twelve: Amos

the Twelve: Amos by ric Gustafson


The prophet Amos came to warn people about their rejection of the Lord. Amos was a shepherd in a barren rocky place called Tekoa. He had a flaming and burning message for the people. Israel had security, comfort and wealth but inside their spiritual health was declining.
Because of their arrogance, God called Amos. The people worshiped outwardly but disobeyed inwardly. They ignored God's law. God had no use for their festivals and rich offerings. The people rejected him and God rejected their phony worship. Amos's message was about their rejection of God. Amos 4: 12 - 5:14 says to prepare to meet your God O Israel.
How do we prepare to meet God?. We must repent of our sin. Instead of rejecting God we need to receive him.
