Weeks 49–54
🌿 Category Description
God desires not only outward obedience but an inwardly transformed heart. This category explores the spiritual core of discipleship: repentance, integrity, humility, wisdom, and purity of heart. Rooted in Torah and unfolded through the Psalms, Proverbs, and Prophets, these studies reveal how God shapes the inner life of His people and prepares them to walk in the likeness of Messiah.
Yeshua fulfills and deepens this call, teaching that true righteousness flows from the heart — and from hearts made new by the Spirit.
