The birthplace of Christ

The birthplace of Christ – 5:2
   
    Micah was the man who defined true religion and he gave the location of the birthplace of Christ.  He reminded the people of Bethlehem that their glorious history would once again be brought into focus with the birth of the Messiah.  Jesus was born in humble surrounding us that He did not come as a conqueror but as a suffering Savior.      
    ‘Micah saw how God despises of the sins of believers.  7:18-19  Iniquity is defined as sinning when you know better.  God never winks at sin and so we should not.  God has called us to holiness, purity and morality.  Anything less demeans the sacrifice God gave us through Jesus Christ.  Sin is sin whether done by a vilest sinner or the pious saint.  Only the blood of Jesus Christ came truly cleanse us of our sin.
