The judgment against Edom points forward to Christ
Sin escalates from passive acceptance to active participation in Israel's destruction
Th extent of the judgment is revealed
God is sovereign over all nations
"Well done" is always better than "well said"
Choosing service over self is the mark of a christian ministry
A commitment to the Truth is an activity, not simply a good intention
A surprising warning to end the letter
Christian Love is expressed through obedience-driven deeds
Believers are bound together in Love by the Truth
The letter ends on a high
Prayer in the spirit is the ultimate defence
