What God Requires: Book 1 by Matthew Allen

"What does God actually expect of me?" Some Christians answer with a checklist, and others aren't sure there's an answer at all. Scripture describes a life of obedience that flows from the heart.

What God Requires: Learning to Do Life His Way, Book 1 is a 13-lesson Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen in the Growth Tracks series. It explores the heart of Christian living, from loving God with all your heart to working with integrity.

How This Study Helps

It's easy to slide toward one of two ditches: treating faith as a list of rules, or treating it as a feeling with no demands. Neither matches the Christian life the New Testament describes. Believers who want to please God often need help seeing what He asks and why.

This study walks through thirteen things God requires of His people and shows how each one grows out of a heart devoted to Him. With reflections, practical application, and discussion questions in every lesson, it helps you move beyond belief into a faith that shows up in how you love, serve, and work.
