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.

<strong>Andrew</strong> Murray on <strong>The</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Life</strong>: Words of God for Young Disciples Text<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 />
Ga 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in<br />
the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.<br />
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body <strong>by</strong> the cross, having slain the<br />
enmity there<strong>by</strong>:<br />
Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.<br />
Col 1:8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.<br />
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I<br />
know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have<br />
committed unto him against that day.<br />
Confess the sin: God shall cleanse you from it. Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there is stealing: all sin against the property or possession of my neighbour: all deception and<br />
dishonesty in trade, where<strong>by</strong> I do wrong to my neighbour, and seek my own advantage at his cost.<br />
<strong>The</strong> law of Christ is love where<strong>by</strong> I seek the advantage of my neighbour as well as my own. O the<br />
love of money and property, which is inseparable from self-seeking -- it is incompatible with the<br />
leading of the Holy Spirit. <strong>The</strong> Christian must be a man who is known as honest to the back-bone,<br />
righteous, and loving his neighbour as himself. (Luke 6:31; Rom. 13:10; 1 <strong>The</strong>ss. 4:6)<br />
Lu 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.<br />
Ro 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.<br />
1Th 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is<br />
the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n says the apostle: 'no corrupt speech -- but such as is good for edifying as the case may be.' Even<br />
the tongue of God's child belongs to his Lord. He must be known <strong>by</strong> his mode of speech. By his<br />
speaking, he can grieve or please the Spirit. <strong>The</strong> sanctified tongue is a blessing not only to his<br />
neighbours but to the speaker himself. Foul talk, idle words, foolish jests -- they grieve the Holy<br />
Spirit. <strong>The</strong>y make it impossible for the Spirit to sanctify and to comfort and to fill the heart with the<br />
love of God. (Prov. 10:19, 20,21,31; 18:20; Eccles. 5:1,2; Matt. 12:36; Eph. 5:4; Jas. 3:9,10)<br />
Pr 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.<br />
Pr 10:20 <strong>The</strong> tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.<br />
Pr 10:21 <strong>The</strong> lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.<br />
Pr 10:31 <strong>The</strong> mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.<br />
