Micah 6:8
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Bible Verse Explained
This verse is a powerful summary of what it means to live a life that pleases God. It simplifies spiritual living into three core principles:
-
Act justly: Treat others fairly and with integrity. Stand up for what is right, especially on behalf of those who are vulnerable or oppressed.
-
Love mercy: Show compassion and kindness to others. It’s not just about being nice—it’s about loving to show grace, even when it’s not deserved.
-
Walk humbly with your God: Live in a way that acknowledges your need for God, without pride or arrogance. It’s about a daily relationship with Him, grounded in humility.
It reminds us that faith isn’t just about rituals or rules—it’s about how we live and relate to others and to God.
