Micah 6-7

“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Through Micah, God reminded Israel that He had rescued them from Egypt not because He needed sacrifices (6:7), but because He wanted their hearts, for them to be a transformed people who followed His ways. In mercy, He promised to make a way to deal with their failures. He promised to hurl their sins “into the depths of the sea (7:15,19).

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin ...?” (7:18). God so loved Israel and the world, including us, that He sent Jesus to provide a sacrifice for forgiveness. Through Him, we can be transformed and walk in God’s ways.
