information about the author of Amos 5:14-15

The most likely author of Amos 5:14-15 is the prophet Amos himself. Amos was a shepherd and a fig-monger from the southern kingdom of Judah, but he was called by God to deliver a message to the northern kingdom of Israel. He prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah in Judah and Jeroboam II in Israel, around 750 BC.

From an evangelical Christian perspective, Amos is seen as a prophet chosen by God to declare the truth to the people of Israel and to call them to repentance. In Amos 5:14-15, he urges the people to seek good and not evil, to establish justice in their communities, and to ultimately seek the Lord and live.

Evangelical Christians believe that the words of Amos are not just relevant to ancient Israel, but also speak to the present-day church and individual believers. They see these verses as a call to live in a way that is pleasing to God, to actively pursue righteousness and justice, and to continually seek a deeper relationship with Him. This means aligning our lives with God’s will and allowing His Word to transform us from the inside out.
