I have just finished a study on the book of Micah, Micah was a prophet during the reign of 3 kings of Judah,although his message was to both Judah and Samaria, who were morally and spiritually at a very low level.Injustice was the order of the day,the ordinary people,were being treated dreadfully 3 v1 -3 describe their treatment in very graphic terms, these words where spoken to the leaders and prophets,here is the charge brought against them.'Should you not embrace justice,you who hate good and love evil;who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;who eat my peoples flesh strip of their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot'.Eventually judgement would come upon them, their wickedness knew no bounds.One would think that God was finished with them,but not so, there is always hope if they would call upon God repenting and forsaking their sinful ways, God would have mercy upon them. Nothing has changed for God who forgive Israel will forgive anyone no matter how wicked they have been if they call upon Jesus,forsaking and repenting of their sins,for whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
'Who is a God like you, who pardons sin'
Micah 7 v 18
