Just Do What You've Been Taught

Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly before thy God.  --Micah 6:8

 

 

You were created by Him, not to be destroyed, but to live. 

 

You were created to LIVE. 

You were created to SERVE. 

 

Yet, in our flesh dwelleth no good thing.  We are nothing without Christ.  We have a fallen nature.  So He fulfilled prophecy...He fulfilled His own written Word...and came to earth to die in our stead.  Nothing else would do.  There is no greater love than this.

 

If we really understood this plan, this gift....we would have no problem with the concept to:  

 

Act Justly.  Love Mercy.  Walk Humbly.

 

Without Jesus we are nothing but shattered plates on His banqueting table.  When we really understand where we've been and who we are, we would treat our fellow neighbor more fairly, we would give every opportunity for mercy, and we would definitely walk humbly before our God; for we know that without JESUS we are wretched, not fit to serve, not fit to be the servant which brings nourishment to others.  It's all because of HIM that we can do anything worthwhile.

 

It is all because of His death and resurrection that we have real opportunity at real living.  He has shown us what is good, now let us go do likewise. 

 

Be just.  Be merciful.  Be humble.
