From darkness to light. From Satan's service to God's service. From error to truth. From despair to hope. From death to life.

What a glorious transformation!

When God saves us, He recreates us as new creatures in Christ. He takes us out of Satan's kingdom, and we no longer want to follow its ways. Now we are in the "kingdom of [God's] dear Son" (Colossians 1:13), and are constantly being "conformed to the image of his Son" (Romans 8:29). God has separated us from the old and separated us unto the new, the better, and the glorious.

As citizens of Christ's kingdom, we are not of this world. However, we live in it. Thus we must constantly choose to reject the world. We must not only maintain our allegiance to Christ but also exhibit it.

This study presents practical ways to avoid being pulled into the world's mold, how to conform to Christ, and to experience God's promise: "I will receive you . . . and ye shall be my sons and daughters" (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18).
