These twelve new lessons reveal how to become a sanctified citizen of God\u2019s kingdom and how Christians can build their character through a personal connection with Christ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Christians struggle with unhealthy relationships, addictions, old habits, and poor choices. But the Bible makes it clear that none need be a slave to sin. Through Christ, each believer can be an overcomer and display a Christ-like character in these last days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cGrowing in Christ\u201d series is a natural extension of the 27 <em>Amazing Facts Study Guides<\/em>. Instead of focusing on prophecy and doctrine, \u201cGrowing in Christ\u201d presents the Bible\u2019s principles for godly living in clear, simple language. Each lesson will help students become disciples of Christ who reveal His character in their work, entertainment, witnessing, relationships, and every other aspect of life.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to become a citizen of God\u2019s kingdom!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-important-addition\"><strong>An Important Addition<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First published in 1966 as \u201cInformation Folders,\u201d the <em>Amazing Facts Study Guides<\/em> have stood the test of time. Hundreds of thousands of Bible students have become members of the remnant church through studying the lessons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known for making the truth simple, the <em>Study Guides <\/em>focus on the Bible\u2019s major teachings and prophecies, but they do not delve deeply into the practical side of living and growing as a new Christian. Tammey Steenson, a former Bible School director, also recognized that over a quarter of the Bible School\u2019s students are incarcerated and need specific biblical guidance on what it means to live as a Christian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That realization led to the development of the \u201cGrowing in Christ\u201d series. Created with much prayer, the new lessons show students how to develop and maintain a personal relationship with Jesus so that they can become mature, balanced Christians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each lesson begins with a true story of an individual whose life was transformed through meeting Jesus and learning to follow Him in the details of life. They then delve into what the Bible teaches on everyday topics, such as sharing your faith and overcoming addiction. Intensely practical, the lessons help students learn how to walk with God at work, at home, at church, and at play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new lessons cover the following topics:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The King and the Kingdom: The operating principles of God\u2019s kingdom vs. Satan\u2019s kingdom<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Growing in Grace: How to have victory over sin in daily life<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">In the Lord\u2019s Army: Putting on the Lord\u2019s armor and living as a Christian soldier<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Prayer: Communion with God made simple<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Renewing Your Mind: Cooperating with God for transformed thoughts and emotions<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Addictions and You: God\u2019s principles for freedom from addiction in all forms<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Godly Relationships: How to love and care for the people who matter most<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Principles for Work: Practical principles for thriving in any work situation<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The Privilege of Stewardship: Being a steward of God\u2019s resources includes far more than tithing<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The Family of God: Discover the blessing of the church family for spiritual growth<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Go Light Your World: How to share your faith in a winsome way<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The Holy Spirit: The third person of the Godhead and His role in your transformation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-should-do-these-lessons\"><strong>Who Should Do These Lessons?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cathy Bauer,\u00a0 Bible School director, says, \u201cThe new lessons are for anyone who wants to grow in their walk with God. They will help you fall in love with Jesus\u2014and when you do, the Bible prophecies come to life. It\u2019s only in a personal relationship with Christ that we see the true value of the Bible\u2019s doctrines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The studies are ideal for personal study or group lessons. They are especially appropriate for new believers who are just learning what it means to be a Christian\u2014but also for longtime Christians who are longing for a deeper walk with God<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The \u201cGrowing in Christ\u201d lessons can be completed through the Bible School either before or after completion of the 27 <em>Study Guides<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">They are also available for purchase through the Amazing Facts bookstore at www.afbookstore.com or by calling 800-538\u20137275.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"series-pagination__sub-title has-16-font-size\">Your Next Read<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"series-pagination__title\">Trapped With a Deadly Virus<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 14, 2026 By Shenalyn Page \u201cTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:17).
