As I was reading this AM in Micah I came across a great little passage. In Micah 6:6-8 we see a series of questions and then an answer. If we were to summarize the questions it would be this:
What can I do to be saved?
Throughout Micah God is pronouncing judgment on Israel. So the people have come up to Micah and asked him. What can we do to be saved from this? Question after question flows and they never really get it. Then in verse 8 Micah states the answer:
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
See all the acts of religion will never cut it with God. It is a personal relationship with our creator that saves us. Then we will want to do what is just and right. We will then really begin to experience love that is unconditional. This will cause us to think and realize that God has done so much for us and yet we have done so little for him. Then and only then will begin a humble walk with our Father.
