Outline and Lesson Goal

Principles and Applications

I. Don’t Turn to Men: They Can’t Be Trusted (Micah 7:1-6)

Principle: There Are No Righteous People.
Application: Have you ever been in a situation in which you could not trust anyone? Can people trust you?
Scripture Reference

¹⁰as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one;
¹¹There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God;
¹²All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.”
Romans 3:10-12 (NASB)

II. Look Up to God: The Great Savior of His People (Micah 7:7-13)

Principle: In Difficult Times, Trust God and Him Alone.
Application: Where do you go in difficult times? Do you go first to the Lord or do you trust yourself or something else?
Scripture Reference

¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
¹⁶Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Hebrews 4:15-16 (NASB)

III. Receive God’s Unchanging Love (Micah 7:14-20)

Principle: Our Only Hope is in God’s Unchanging Love.
Application: Have you turned your life over to the Lord for restoration and redemption? Are you sure you are one of His people?
Scripture Reference

⁵and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
⁶For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
⁷For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
⁸But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:5-8 (NASB)
