Micah 6:8 
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God? 

Application: 

In every case (read Micah 6:4-7), God acted faithfully toward his chosen people. They, on the other hand, couldn’t say the same. So how could they please the Lord? By bringing burnt offerings? By offering their firstborn? (6:6–7). No. God is not interested in mere religious rituals.

What God wants is our heart and mind. He wants our love and obedience. He’s a personal God who expects a personal relationship. He also expects us to love our neighbors by doing them good and ministering to their needs. 

The answer to what the Lord requires is simple. Every person is to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with … God (6:8). Religion becomes authentic when it demonstrates itself in the equitable application of biblical truth to meet the needs of people in God’s name (see Jas 1:27).
