G. Campbell Morgan addresses the spiritual condition of the people during Malachi's time, emphasizing their mechanical observance of rituals while their hearts were far from God. The repeated question 'Wherein?' reflects their disbelief in the accusations of God against them, showcasing a disconnect between their outward practices and true devotion. Morgan draws parallels to the present age, warning against the danger of having a form of godliness while denying its power, highlighting the need for genuine spiritual transformation rather than mere ritualistic adherence. He stresses that the decline in spiritual understanding stems from a corrupt priesthood that fails to embody and teach the true covenant of God. Ultimately, he calls for a return to authentic relationship with God, urging believers to seek a deeper, transformative faith.
