What Does the Lord Require?

Micah 6:8 teaches that God requires His people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. For Christians, this means faithfully attending worship, sharing the Gospel, studying Scripture, giving generously, serving others, and growing in faith. God is living and calls His children to be active in His work.

Transcript

David Hill: Ever concern you what God expects of you? Got a minute? The prophet Micah asked and answered the question, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).” What does that mean to the Christian? Attend all services of the Lord’s Church (Hebrews 10:25). Teach others the Gospel (Matthew 28:18-20). Study your Bible diligently (II Timothy 2:15). Give of your means and of yourself in service of the Master (II Corinthians 9:6-7). And grow your faith as a Christian (II Peter 1:5-10). God is a living God, and He expects His children to be active—active in the work of the Lord. That’s the Gospel. I’m David Hill.
