When God’s judgment reveals just how crooked his people have become, Amos asks the question that ultimately confronts us all: Who can stand? The gospel answers that Christ stood in our place so that, by faith, we might stand in him.
Israel longed for the Day of the LORD, confident that God’s judgment was meant for someone else. Amos confronts the danger of false assurance and calls us beyond surface-level religion to a genuine, abiding faith that bears the transforming fruit of God’s grace.
