“It is our responsibility to live virtuously.  God asks this of us as being our own doing – not as being dependent on Him, nor on any other, nor on Fate (as some think).  The prophet Micah proves this when he says: ‘If it has been announced to you, O man, what is good, or what does the Lord require of you, except to do justice and to love mercy?’ [Mic. 6:8]  Moses too, said: ‘I have placed before your face the way of life and the way of death.  Choose what is good and walk in it’ [Deut. 30:19].”
