Amos: Prepare to Meet Your God


1.  Amos was in the grip of grace (3:8; 7:14-15; 1 Corinthians 9:16; 2 Corinthians 5:14).

2.  Justice and righteousness should characterize God’s people (5:7, 15, 24; 6:12; Proverbs 21:3; Romans 6:13).

3.  Prosperity often leads to a false sense of security (6:1-7; Luke 12:15-21; 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19). 

4.  When we leave our God and Father for the far country, He longs for us to return to Him (4:6, 8, 9, 10, 11; Luke 15:13).

5.  “Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”  (4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:2-11).

Conclusion:  Read Amos and determine not to become complacent, but to prepare yourself to meet your God!
