Unit 14 Session 3
A HUMBLED PEOPLE
ZEPHANIAH
God saves and restores all those who repent and turn to Him in faith.
The prophet Zephaniah brought one major message to God's people: the day of the Lord was coming. That day was a day of judgment, but it was also a day of grace. God's people and the nations were faced with the reality of God's coming judgment, and Zephaniah's message called all people to repentance to find grace in the face of judgment. The Lord is patient, but His judgment does not delay. It comes soon, so the prophet's call was timely and urgent: Humbly come under the refuge of God's grace or be destroyed by your pride.
Points to consider:
✞ The Lord saves the repentant.
* Why does humility please the Lord?
✞ The Lord restores the faithful.
* What are some ways our speech is
tainted by the effects of sin?
* Why is pride such a devestating
attitude and sin?
✞ The Lord purifies the humble.
* What should sanctification look
like in this world plagued by sin?
