The Heart Requirements of a Jesus Follower
God Wants More Than Outward Obedience
Is it possible to do all the right things outwardly while your heart is far from God?
Beyond Belief: What Does Your Life Reveal?
Jesus repeatedly taught that God is not primarily interested in outward appearances—He is concerned with the condition of our hearts. Thoughts, motives, attitudes, desires, and priorities all reveal who we are becoming spiritually.
The HEART Requirements of a Jesus Follower explores what Scripture teaches about the inner life of every disciple. Through carefully selected Bible studies, you'll discover how God transforms hearts, why inward change always precedes lasting outward change, and how a surrendered heart becomes the foundation for authentic Christian living.

Why Read This Study?
Many Christians focus on changing their behavior. Jesus focused on changing hearts.
Throughout Scripture, God consistently calls His people to love Him wholeheartedly, trust Him completely, and allow Him to transform them from the inside out.
This study helps you examine not only what you do—but why you do it. As your heart becomes more aligned with God's will, your actions naturally begin to reflect His character.
What You'll Discover
This study explores questions such as:
What does God really look for in a person's heart?
Why are motives so important?
How can my heart become more like Christ's?
What attitudes hinder spiritual growth?
How does God transform the inner person?
