The New Life by Andrew

Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ. The New Life aids Christians in their examination of the scripture and offers valuable information to believers who want to overcome sin and live the Christian life. While Murray's book is specifically designed for young converts, the text is useful to all Christians. Murray's chapters cover a variety of different topics that Christians, particularly those new to the faith, will find remarkably helpful. Murray discusses how Christians should approach the tasks of missionary work, prayer, confession, and baptism. The text also provides practical guidance regarding money, self-denial, discretion, and the temptations of worldly evil. New Life is a personal devotional, but it is also a resourceful tool for large congregations, small groups, and prayer meetings. The text is simply and easy to understand, and while each individual entry is rather short, Murray supplies substantial scriptural reference for further exploration.

foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.<br />

1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the<br />

word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the<br />

word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.<br />

When you pray, you can reckon upon His leading: '<strong>The</strong> Spirit helpeth our infirmities.' He leads us to<br />

what we must desire. He leads us into the way in which we are to pray, trustfully, persistently,<br />

mightily. (Zech 12:10; Rom. 8:26,27; Jude 12,20)<br />

Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the<br />

spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and<br />

they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him,<br />

as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.<br />

Ro 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray<br />

for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be<br />

uttered.<br />

Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he<br />

maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.<br />

Jude 1:12 <strong>The</strong>se are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding<br />

themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose<br />

fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up <strong>by</strong> the roots;<br />

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy<br />

Ghost<br />

In the way of sanctification it is He that will lead: He leads us in the path of righteousness. He leads us<br />

into all the will of God. (1 Cor. 6:19,20; 1 Pet 1:2,15)<br />

1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,<br />

which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?<br />

1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,<br />

which are God's.<br />

1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the<br />

Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace,<br />

be multiplied.<br />

1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation<br />

In our speaking and working for the Lord, He will lead. Every child has the Spirit: every child has<br />

need of Him to know and to do the work of the Father. Without Him no child can please or serve the<br />

Father. <strong>The</strong> leading of the Spirit is the blessed privilege, the sure token, the only power of a child of<br />

God. (Matt. 10:20; Acts 1:8; Rom 8:9,13; Gal. 4:6; Eph. 1:13)<br />
