"He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Mic 6:8 NAS95)
What the Lord requires of you. What the Lord ask is good because he is good. The commands for living are do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly before your God.
This emphasizes your devoted life to God when he says your God. This shows that there should be personal relationship with God the Father with his children. Being in God's presence demands a life that is acceptable to God. Being in God is liberty, because where the Lord is Spirit and where the Spirit is there is liberty (2 Cor. 3:17).
Therefore do justice that is what is right and honest.
Love Kindness for the Lord our God is full of loving kindness.
Walk humbly for God apposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Following these instructions embodies the precepts God has given summarized in these statements. God desires holiness from his people and you to should desire holiness from yourself to please our great God.
