"Remember the Law of Moses"

Text: Malachi 4:4

A CALL TO REMEMBER THE WORD OF GOD

One of the greatest gifts that God had given to Israel was His Word. Sadly, Israel neglected it and failed to keep it, to the nation’s great loss!

Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.”
