God wants to give you a
We are people who should do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly before God. By focusing on the basics, we see the principles that will enable us to live faithful and fruitful lives for God.
God wants us to love others and give them the grace He gave us. Jesus said when someone does us wrong, we should forgive them 490 times! (Matthew 8:22) That's not easy. But there are a few verses in the Bible that encourage us to love one another just like Jesus loves us.
Micah 6:8 is a clear, crisp, and simple summary of what God expects from you and me. These three things that matter so much to God are the three things God wants to see in us: justice, kindness, and humility. To act justly is to treat people fairly and respectfully. You do not oppress or mistreat others.
He wants to fill us with the same eternal, life-giving love that He and the Father share, a love from “before the foundation of the world” that will endure long after this world is gone (John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:20).
Love God and your neighbor
This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39). When you replace hate with love, and anger with kindness, you'll feel closer to God and notice more peace in your life.
Generosity – This is the core Christian value of being kind and unselfish, especially with our money and time. Courage– The value is characterized by boldness and confidence. It's the opposite of fear. Love – Love is a fundamental characteristic of who God is and it's a value that is to describe His children as well.
Give the Sacrifice God Wants. “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased” (Hebrews 13:15-16).
The biblical word “makarios” means “supremely blessed” or “more than happy”. This is God's goal for us, even when things aren't going the way you want them to go. God's desire is to make us holy, not just temporarily happy. True happiness is a “blessed” life, and it only comes when we seek God first, above all else.
The four Gospels are filled with demands like “be born again,” “love your God,” and “lay up treasures.” Far from harsh demands originating from a selfish desire to control, Jesus' words are more a clarion call of urgency—loving directions for our good and ultimate satisfaction.
Micah 6:8, the "Micah Mandate," gives a balanced answer to today's spiritual and political questions. "What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Thinking less about the decisions themselves and more about the life those decisions effect, we realize that what matters most to God is ultimately not what we choose but the amount of love that those decisions create in our lives; where we go to school, what we do for a living, and our familial life matters to God ...
Also, when you're always worried about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the grace and strength you need when you get there. Right now, you only need enough power for today. “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT, second edition).
God calls all of us to be His disciples and to do His work. In the Bible, God makes it clear that we are to love others, care for the poor, and live our lives in such a way that others see Him in us.
God wants your heart to be knit together in love with other people. God is concerned about our unity. The unity God wants doesn't come from force, but love. God wants you to receive real riches that are found in the believer's full assurance.
Our primary calling is to be in a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that God has called us into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ.... Our primary calling is not tied to our employment.... God values us for who we are, not for what we can produce or achieve within work.
If you don't have peace or rest in your Spirit about being single forever, this may mean that God is not calling you to singleness. But if you do have peace about being single forever, this may be God trying to tell you that his plan for you is to be single.
God does not want us to live in poverty; we have discovered that there is nothing inherently spiritual in poverty. Neither is there any sin in wealth. However, God does not desire for a Christian to live in worldly lavishness while His work needs money and other Christians go without food and clothing.
He created people out of love for the purpose of sharing love. People were created to love God and each other. Additionally, when God created people, he gave them good work to do so that they might experience God's goodness and reflect his image in the way they care for the world and for each other.
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
We could try pleasing Him with good works, an exemplary life, loving people, but scripture is very clear that it is faith demonstrated that pleases God. Believing that which we do not see, yet expect and totally convinced of that which may not be a reality in our lives right now (Heb 11:1), living that out.
We don't know all of God's values, but we know some that He has revealed in the Bible, like Micah 5:8, which tells what God values – to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. In the New Testament we learn about the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8).
In God's eyes, we are precious and honored. He loves us so much that he would exchange nations for our life.
GOD-FEARING.
A reverent feeling toward God and living in a way that is considered morally right.
