TODAY'S WORD
Mic 6:8 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?
Micah in his message to us today joins the Old Testament prophets who emphasized that external forms of religion that lack a humble and intentional manifestation of justice and mercy are never acceptable to a just and merciful God. _True religion is practically. To be sure, it includes the rites and ceremonies of the Church, but...... it is not so much a matter of abstaining from food as it is of sharing food with the hungry. Practical godliness is the only kind of religion recognized at the judgement bar of God_ . So says one Christian writer.
Back to the verse. The phrase "require of you" could also be translated as "seek from you". Yeah. That is, what does God seek from us, we his people redeemed by the blood of Christ? And please note, the phrase address you as an individual. Many love to say my church does this and that. What about you? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? How much clearer could the Lord be in regard to what He asks of His people? The answer is shown on how we are to relate to others and to God.
if God required justice, mercy, and to walk humble before God from Israel and in verse 4 says because He brought them out of the Egyptian bondage. What more us? Redeemed by the blood of the Son of God. The reality of the Cross and what it cost to redeem us, should always keep us humble before our God.
Love one another for love is of God. And he who does not love, does not know God, for God is love.
If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land.
