As a follower of
Christ for over sixty years, I’ve probably referred to this little scrap of scripture
a thousand times, in posts and silent prayer.
I shared it today with a friend who’d never heard it. Forgive me if I
share it here again. As Christians, we’re
encouraged to be prepared to share, if asked, what one must do to become a
follower of Christ. Sadly, many professed Christians will answer this simple
and sincere question by producing a staggering list of demands and requirements
that would crush the hopes of even Christ’s apostles. The Bible answers this age-old
question succinctly, authoritatively, and with little room for confusion or debate,
in Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord
require of you, but to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?” It’s that simple. Seek these things in sincerity
and prayer, and a walk with Jesus Christ will surely follow. SC
