Micah 6:8–"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
This is a very famous verse of Scripture being the inspiration for several worship songs. And while it is delivered as a question, it is actually a statement. The prophet is asserting something quite profound here that, at the very least, God has told us what He requires of us. But these three requirements are far from easy. Moreover, these requirements do not even come naturally or without much effort.
It is at this point that we are presented with an honest but necessary question: how will we be able to do what the Lord requires?
And I do not mean to oversimplify this in any way, however, the answer to the aforementioned question is simple.
Only through God. Only in the power of the Holy Spirit. Only because of the work of Jesus Christ.
Let's not forget that as difficult as the requirements may seem, they are simply accomplished in Christ!
