What the LORD Requires (Micah 6:1-8) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

What does God want from us? What kind of offering is good enough for the King of all creation? Kids might at times wonder what it means to be children of the Lord, or what (if anything) we should do or give to Him. This lesson focuses on the concept of offerings and sacrifices rendered to God. The truth is that God does not desire things, but our hearts. We can give Him our love and our actions, but we also know that He loves us and provides for us no matter what.

 “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly…” These are powerful and meaningful words, but it’s important not to misinterpret them as a call to somehow earn God’s approval. God wants us to remember that nothing we bring or do can match His strength and power, nor does it need to. “Walking humbly” means recognizing that He does the work. We want to live for Him and serve Him, but we have all we need in Christ.
