Micah 6:8


What does God require of us? He wants us to be fair to all people, to extend mercy and forgiveness easily to others and to humbly accept His gift of salvation in Christ Jesus knowing that it has nothing to do with our goodness BUT everything to do with His! Live a life that reflects your gratitude for His mercy and grace knowing that ALL things come from Him.

The majority of the people of Israel had violated each of these standards repeatedly. The rulers of His people did not know justice, had no interest in mercy, and demonstrated no humility. It is the Lord who ultimately gives a person strength, courage, and ability to exercise the virtues of godly living.

Micah 6:8
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; 
And what does the Lord require of you 
But to do justly, 
To love mercy, 
And to walk humbly with your God
