Micah 6:8 English Standard Version (ESV) 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?

A recent study implied that one of our fears is not being good enough. As an offshoot of that emotion is a desire to try and do enough to earn His approval. That may stem from our relationship with our father or mother. It is error to place those earthly emotions on our eternal God.

Once we let Jesus into our hearts we gained all the approval we will ever get. It is enough to be in Christ and because we are in Christ then this happens, God tells us what is good.

Requirements are not laws to keep. It is the act of son ship, to be His child. Love what God loves. God is telling us what He loves. Obedience of faith comes from hearing God. It cannot be any other way. We allow guilt related to past relationship determine our motive for action. That is not what God wants. We are His child now and we need to untangle ourselves from the guilt of the past.

The most important part of Micah 6:8 is walking with God.
