What does the Lord require?

Do you remember yesterday that we learned that one day that nations will come to the Lord and want to learn from him and live according to his ways?

In today's reading, we actually learn what God wants from us.

Here is God's word saying:

8He 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?

Here it is in a nutshell. God requires that we "do justice", and "love kindness" and "to walk humbly with him".

That's it. Seems relatively easy...but it isn't.

It requires knowing God's word so we know what all those things really mean. But following God does in many ways, boil down to these three things.

Know him, follow him... do justice, love kindness and walk with HIM humbly.
