God’s Requirements
What does God require from his followers? What are the basic expectations God has for his children?
As God’s children, we are subject to God’s leadership and character in our lives.
Because God is just, God requires justice from his children. Because God is kind, God requires kindness from his children. Because God is who he is, God requires humility from his children.
God spoke through the Minor Prophet Micah saying, “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?” (Micah 6:8, ESV).
God’s expectations are clear to us throughout the Bible. In this one verse of scripture, God requires justice, kindness, and humility from us.
These three basic requirements from God reflect the character and the heart of God and demonstrate his love and attributes to all the world.
May we live out the requirements of God as we reflect the character of God, the heart of God, and the love of God to a broken world.
A Prayer for Mission: “O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
