A life in Christ is one of total dedication to God. In SWYPG this year, we will consider many different aspects of life and discuss how we can live in accordance with God’s principles. We will firstly consider Baptism - the first vital step to a new life in Christ. We will then see how Bible study can give us practical instruction for life. Furthermore, we will examine our relationship with the state and the powers of this world. Temptation can affect our walk in Christ, so we will also discuss how to conquer these in our lives. We will also consider how our walk in Christ affects our decisions concerning our employment. In the ecclesia, we have a responsibility to care for those around us. We will look at how we can glorify God through good works. Our intimate relationships and marriages must also be in accordance with God’s principles and emulate the type of Christ and the ecclesia. The principles of how we spend our leisure time will also be discussed. And finally, our fellowship with each other is a vital part of our walk in Christ, as this is how we share and strengthen one another in our shared hope. This booklet aims to provide a brief overview of these topics. It is hoped that these studies will help us live a more dedicated life in Christ.
