It's not only about sexual sins as we have always been taught. It just isn't. It's much broader; it's about justice and just living.....
What does God require of us?
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.Micah 6:8
