Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Phil. 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than themselves.
Phil. 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
in itself, and therefore expects all from its Lord. (Matt. 8:8,15,27,28)
Mt 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under
my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mt 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto
them.
Mt 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and
the sea obey him!
Mt 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met
him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might
pass by that way.
The third lesson is: the young Christian must not remain weak; he must grow and increase in grace; he
must make progress and become strong. God lays it upon us as a command. His word gives us
concerning this point the most glorious promises. It lies in the nature of the thing: a child of God must
and can make progress. The new life is a life that is healthy and strong: when a disciple surrenders
himself to it, the growth certainly comes. (Judg. 5:31; Ps. 84:8, 92:13,14; Prov. 4:18; Isa. 40:31; Eph.
4:14; 1 Thess. 4:1; 2 Pet. 3:18)
Jud 5:31 So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun
when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Ps 84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
Ps 92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Ps 92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Pr 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day.
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait
