MAJOR MESSAGES FROM THE MINOR PROPHETS
“Why, God?”
Habakkuk 1:1-3:19
Introduction: God uses the Minor Prophets to convey Major Messages to His people- not just then, but even Now.
A Perplexing Question with a Permissive Society (Habakkuk 1:1-4)
- Why does God allow Evil to Continue?
- Man-Made Answers:
- God is All-Loving, but not All-Powerful
- God is All-Powerful, but not All-Loving
- God has a Good and Evil Side
- Man-Made Answers:
A Heavenly Response with a Harsh Resolution (Habakkuk 1:5-11)
- God does NOT Create Evil
- Because God is All-Loving, He created us with Freewill to choose Him or Sin.
- Sin is not a Created thing, its the void of God’s Goodness.
- Therefore, our Freewill to choose Sin establishes this Relational Void of God that we call “Evil”.
- God Controls Evil
- Because God is All-Powerful, His sovereignty demands that He be in control of everything.
- Therefore, God controls both good and evil to bring about His glory and our gain.
A Wanted Reply with an Unwanted Answer (Habakkuk 1:12-2:1)
- What do you do when what you see is not consistent with what you feel?
An Earthly Vision with an Eternal Perspective (Habakkuk 2:2-20)
- The Wicked live by Fame in their Vanity of Corruption
- The Righteous live by Faith in the Victory of Christ
The Major Message: Faith (Habakkuk 3:1-19)
- Our Faith Surrenders: Listen, Write, Wait
- Our Faith Sees: We’re not fixed on a Secular Solution, but on a Sovereign Savior
- Our Faith Soars: “While Sin places me in Adam’s Fall, Faith sets me higher in God’s Glory”
