God is calling us, to do justice from hearts of mercy and compassion, marked by the humility of Christ. We are required to give people what they don't always deserve; we are to show them mercy. God is well known for His mercy. He has always shown great mercy in all His dealings with mankind. Because of this He expects us as His people to love mercy. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. (Micah 6:8) His everlasting righteousness shines forth in union with his boundless mercy. No man is wise who does not fear the Lord; no man acts wisely except as influenced by that fear.True wisdom begins with fear, reverence for God; respect for His law and commandments and the fear of offending our God. This fear will lead to repentance, to faith in Christ, to watchfulness and obedience. Such persons are of a good understanding. The law is an eternal law, and is not made void by faith, but established in the faith and everlasting gospel, which lives and abides forever. The works of His hands are truth and [absolute] justice;

All His precepts are sure (established, reliable, trustworthy).

They are upheld forever and ever;

They are done in [absolute] truth and uprightness.

He has sent redemption to His people;

He has ordained His covenant forever;

Holy and awesome is His name--[inspiring reverence and godly fear].

The [reverent] fear of the LORD is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom;

A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the LORD;

His praise endures forever. (Psalm 111:7-10) Being a new creation in Christ Jesus; loving and serving Him from the heart; doing everything out of love for Him; and allowing His Holy Spirit to guide you.

A new creation [which is the result of a new birth, a spiritual transformation, a new nature in Christ Jesus. Being made right before God through faith in Jesus leads to sanctification from God, meaning He has begun a process in each of our lives as His sons and daughters, for all who've trusted in Him. The work of new birth in Christ, which leads to salvation. The Work in You Is good because He Is good. (Phillippians 1:6) These good works are not the basis of our salvation, but rather, they are the natural outflow of a transformed life in Christ. For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. (Ephesians 2:10)
