Mitzvot Yeshua
Section 6
Witness & Mission

Mitzvot Yeshua
Witness and mission are the outward flow of obedience. Love, Kingdom life, worship, community, and justice all find their fulfillment in going out with courage, shining light in the darkness, and proclaiming the reign of God. Yeshua’s final mitzvot remind us that faith is not passive — it is a calling to bear fruit and to remain steadfast until the day He returns.
