Micah 6:6-8

He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

John B. Anderson's commentary:

Believing as I do that Christ's words to Nicodemus are relevant to the situation of modern man and that we must be "born again" in no way relieves me of my responsibility to pursue social justice, to act in compassion toward my fellowman and to seek a better world.  For, while man is a sinner, God has implanted within each of us a conscience, and with it we become responsible for our own actions and chargeable with the responsibility to do mercy, seek justice and walk humbly before our God.  W e cannot escape the fact that we are our brother's keeper.
