4. Micah 6:6-7
“What can we bring to the Lord?     What kind of offerings should we give him? Should we bow before God     with offerings of yearling calves?
Should we offer him thousands of rams     and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children     to pay for our sins?

The Heart behind their questions
Their Pride
Their Insincerity

6. Micah 6:8
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,     and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy,     and to walk humbly with your God

7. What is TRULY GOOD In GOD’S EYES?
The people in Micah’s time did not know- Micah had to tell them
Christians today have an advantage
Indwelling Holy Spirit convicts us

8. Why don’t we DO what is Right?
So Far from God that we don’t know
We choose not to
We are afraid
We are not willing to pay the cost
