A road map for righteous living

Despite the apparent complexities of the Bible, many passages distill things down to simple advice on how we should live. Here's an example from Psalm 50, here's an example from Isaiah 33, here's an example from Ezekiel 18, and here's an example from Hebrews 2.

This post notes another example from the prophet Micah. Now, Micah is most famous for Chapter 5, which, approximately 700 years before the birth of Jesus, predicts tiny, insignificant Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah.

But turning to Micah 6:8 (NLT), we find an excellent road map for righteous living.

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.

If you seek a Bible verse to write down and memorize, Micah 6:8 is a good candidate!
