Why do you think Micah 6:8 is so often misunderstood?


These Scriptures tells me what it means. 

He: This is Jesus who showed us
What is good: means a good thing, best, beautiful, glad.  Paul tells us in (1 Th 5:21 KJV)  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  This good means honest, meet, well, and worthy.
What does the LORD require of you:  require means diligently, question, search, seek.  Deut 10 tells us that Jesus your God ask of you but to fear Jesus your God, to walk in all Jesus ways, to love Jesus, to serve Jesus your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe Jesus commands and decrees.
To do justly: means to do right, be truthful and honest
To love mercy: means kindness, merciful, loving to others
To walk humbly with Jesus:  means lowly, an humble spirit.
Jesus answers this directly in Mark 12.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Jesus also tells us what love is directly: Love is to obey Jesus commands, obey Jesus teaching and follow Jesus Way of Life.
Remember, a Christian cannot do any type of activity for their salvation, but one who is a Christian will have the love of Jesus and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

(1 John 5:3 NIV)  This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

(John 14:15 NIV)  "If you love me, you will obey what I command.

(John 14:23-24 NIV)  Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. {24} He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.


(Mark 12:30 NIV)  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'


(Micah 6:8 KJV)  He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?


(Deu 10:12-13 NIV)  And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, {13} and to observe the Lord's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
