What does the Lord require of us?

Micah 6:8

In Micah 6:8, the question is asked, “What does the Lord require of us?”

Micah 6:8 gives us an Old Testament answer to the question, “What is holiness?”

As well as Micah’s answer, there is a New Testament answer to this question.

* “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin” (Hebrews 9:22).

God calls us to come to the Cross. That’s where the life of faith and obedience begins.

* “Without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6).

God calls us to put our faith in Christ. It’s personal faith. Each one of us must come to Jesus - “Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.” Faith is God’s gift. Each one of us must receive His gift.

* “Without holiness, no-one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).

God is calling us to become more like Jesus. Our life is to be less of self and more of Christ - and we’re to give all the glory to God.
