Micah 6:1-16

God's Arraignment of His people

1-8. Micah's message to the discouraged believers. They have lost heart because of the apparent contradiction between the promises of their prophets and the hard facts of their history. They have lost faith in God's grace, and are trying to propitiate His favour by such sacrifices as the heathen offered to their gods. Micah appeals to nature, to history, and to the reasonable service God requires. He calls on the hills to witness what God has done (Micah 6:1). He appeals to the great deeds of God's redemption for His people (Micah 6:3). He insists on the simplicities of God's requirements (Micah 6:6).
