Israel questions if God really loves them and God answers through Malachi that He has always loved them and that His sovereignty rules over the entire earth.

Malachi reveals that Israel has been unfaithful through saying one thing and doing another. They became more concerned with accumulating possessions than in honoring the LORD through their sacrifices by presenting blemished sacrifices to the LORD when they had animals without blemish in their flocks.
