What does man have to do to please God? Put another way, what does God require of man?
"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth The Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8
This rhetorical question was asked by Micah because men should have known what God wanted from them. God wanted a spiritual commitment that was sincere and from the heart, from which right behavior would result. That is what God wanted from them back then and that is what He wants from us today.
In the previous verse, 6:7, Micah makes it clear what God does not require to come before Him. And in the following verses, 6:9-12, Micah lists the sins of Israel.
We know what God wants from us. The question is are we willing to do what God wants us to do?
