Two main points from Malachi 2:17-3:5:
The Refiner's Fire
Sanctification is not a painless process. God is the Refiner, and if we want to be like Him, He must bring our impurities to the surface and remove them. It's going to be hard. It's going to hurt.
Justice is Coming
Part of God's promise mentioned in this passage has already occurred, but God also promised swift judgment for the wicked (He gets very specific here) and justice for the helpless (those being abused and oppressed by the wicked).
We are in 'the in-between'. While we wait, we can take heart in the full promise and live our lives in a way that points people to the Messenger - the Savior who fulfilled the first part of the promise in this passage from Malachi.
