THE LORD IS HIS NAME

The message of Amos

Gordon J. Keddie

The message of Amos is pre-eminently a message of new life. The message, however, comes in the context of a nation under judgement. Israel hid the emptiness and godliness of a corrupt society behind an apathetic and nominal outward religion, like so many today.

God's view of our society is revealed in Amos in no uncertain terms. While no refuge is offered for those who reject or disregard God's will, shining through the gloom most brightly is the precious gift of new life through faith in God's Saviour, his Son Jesus Christ.
