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.

engrossed with the world, with its business, its cares, its enjoyments, its literature, its politics, the<br />
Spirit cannot lead us. When our service of God is a bustling and working in our own wisdom and<br />
strength, the Spirit cannot be heard in us. It is the weak, the simple, who are willing to have<br />
themselves taught in humility, that receive the leading of the Spirit. Sit down every morning, sit down<br />
often in the day, to say: Lord Jesus, I know nothing, I will be silent: let the Spirit lead me. (1 Chron.<br />
19:12; Ps. 62; 2,6; 131:2; Isa. 43:2; Hab. 2:20; Zech. 4:6 Acts 1:4)<br />
1Ch 19:12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the<br />
children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.<br />
Ps 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.<br />
Ps 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.<br />
Ps 131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my<br />
soul is even as a weaned child.<br />
Isa 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they<br />
shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither<br />
shall the flame kindle upon thee.<br />
Hab 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.<br />
Zec 4:6 <strong>The</strong>n he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto<br />
Zerubbabel, saying, Not <strong>by</strong> might, nor <strong>by</strong> power, but <strong>by</strong> my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.<br />
Ac 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart<br />
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.<br />
And then: be obedient. Listen to the inner voice, and do what it says to you. Fill your heart every day<br />
with the word, and when the Spirit puts you in mind of what the word says, betake yourself to the<br />
doing of it. So you become capable of further teaching: it is to the obedient that the full blessing of the<br />
Spirit is promised. (John 14:15,16; Acts 5:32)<br />
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.<br />
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may<br />
abide with you for ever;<br />
Ac 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God<br />
hath given to them that obey him.<br />
Young Christian, know that you are a temple of the Spirit, and that it is only through the daily leading<br />
of the Spirit that you can walk as a child of God, with the witness that you are pleasing the Father.<br />
Precious Saviour, imprint this lesson deeply on my mind. <strong>The</strong> Holy Spirit is in me. His leading is every<br />
