Can I really change inside? What the Bible says about a new heart and clean conscience (Leviticus 3; James 1)

The peace offering in Leviticus 3 is a powerful picture of how God restores relationship with humanity. So why does Scripture talk about kidneys, heart, liver, fat and “inward parts”? In this study, we explore how the Bible uses these to describe our conscience, desires, and inner struggles — and how the offerings, from peace to sin to Yom Kippur, point to Yeshua (Jesus), Who brings true peace with God.

How the Tabernacle and Messiah ‘show us the Father’ (Exodus 27–30)
