This lesson takes us to the next step on the path of God’s presence with the Mountain of Humility. It emphasizes the importance of surrendering fully to God, counting the cost of following Christ, and embodying humility both before God and toward others. Drawing from biblical examples like Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac and Jesus’ ultimate humility in his death on the cross, you will learn how true discipleship involves repentance, trust, and self-denial. Through humility, we invite God’s Spirit to dwell within us and submit ourselves to His mission.
