Three things to note about our duty: It is a duty that is required. Both the Catechism and our passage in Micah say it is required. This ought to be obvious to you, but too often it is not. You are sorely mistaken if you think serving God is just a matter of personal preference.

We see both aspects of judgment illustrated...

The text distinguishes between the universal...

The central message, drawn from Isaiah 41:10, asserts that fear is not an option for believers because God provides a command to conquer, a companion to comfort, and a covenant to claim.
