Remnants of Grace

We probably all have heard Micah 6:8 before, “He has told you, O mortal, 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?” But, as we have seen in the minor prophets, there is often much more that surrounds these quotable verses. Micah is prophesying against God’s people for their lack of obedience and exposing their acts of injustice and inequity. But God’s people are not without hope, Micah calls to the faithful few, a remnant, to have hope for they will be saved and will continue in their covenantal relationship with God fully realized in Jesus Christ and the salvation that he offers to us.
