Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
Mt 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat
into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
To the anxious soul who complains that he does not feel his sin deeply enough, we must often say that
there is no limit as to how deep his repentance must be. He must come daily just as he is; the deepest
conviction often times comes after conversion. To the young convert we have simply to say: let the
Spirit who is in you convince you always of sin. Sin, which formerly you knew but by name, He will
make you hate. Sin, which you had not seen in the hidden depths of your heart, He will make you
know, and with shame confess. Sin, of which you fancied that it was not with you, and which you had
judged severely in others, He will point out to you in yourself. (Ps. 139:7,23; Isa. 10:17; Matt. 7:5;
Rom. 14:4; 1 Cor. 2:10; 14:24,25)
Ps 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Ps 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Isa 10:17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall
burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
Mt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Ro 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or
falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is
convinced of all, he is judged of all:
1Co 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face
he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
And He will teach you with repentance and self-condemnation to cast yourself upon grace as entirely
sinful, in order to be thereby redeemed and purified from it.
Beloved brother, the Holy Spirit is in you as the light and fire of God to unveil and to consume sin.
The temple of God is holy, and this temple you are. Let the Holy Spirit in you have full mastery to
point out and expel sin. (Ps. 19:13; 139:23; Mic. 3:8; 1 Cor. 3:17; 2 Cor. 3:17; 5:16)
Ps 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over
me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Ps 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Mic 3:8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might,
