The first expectation is to act justly. One way you could rephrase this is to do just. Just is being honorable and fair in one’s dealings or actions. In Jeremiah 7:5-7 it says “If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever.” God calls us to be fair to other people, not to do wrong to them for any reason. This goes back to the Ten Commandments where it says not to bare false witness.
The next is to love mercy. The parable of the unmerciful servant shows a great description of what mercy is as well as what it is not. It says in Matthew 18:32-34 “32Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' 34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.” Jesus had mercy on us when he died for us. Even though we didn’t deserve it, he still did it.
The final thing is to walk humbly with your God. Being humble is putting someone before you. When I hear the word humble I think of kneeling. Matthew 18:4 says “Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” We need to learn that God is always with us through the good and the bad. God always knows what he is doing and has a purpose for everything.
