How should Christians interpret the call to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly?
Answered in 1 source
These calls instruct Christians to align their actions with God's righteousness, embodying His mercy while recognizing His justice.
The call in Micah 6:8 to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God encapsulates the Christian life’s requirements. Each of these actions must be viewed in light of one’s relationship with God. To do justly means to align oneself with God’s standards and to acknowledge one’s own sinfulness before Him. Loving mercy reflects how Christians ought to respond to God’s mercy in Christ—by extending that mercy to others. Walking humbly is an acknowledgment that it is only by God's grace that we are accepted. Together, these actions represent a holistic response to God's grace, demonstrating our transformed hearts and lives in accordance with His will.
