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.

righteous before God, and just so in Him are we strong against our enemies. (Ps. 44:4,9; Isa. 45:24)<br />
Ps 44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.<br />
Ps 44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.<br />
Isa 45:24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him<br />
shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.<br />
In this light we can read and take home to ourselves all the noble passages in the Old Testament,<br />
especially in the Psalms, where the glorious conflict of God in behalf of his people is spoken of. Fear,<br />
or spiritlessness, or uncertainty, makes weak, and cannot overcome: faith in the living God is equal to<br />
everything. (Deut. 20:3,8; Josh. 6:20; Judges 7:3 Ps. 18:32-40; Heb. 11:23)<br />
De 20:3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your<br />
enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of<br />
them;<br />
De 20:8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is<br />
there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's<br />
heart faint as well as his heart.<br />
Jos 6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass,<br />
when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that<br />
the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him,<br />
and they took the city.<br />
Jud 7:3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful<br />
and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people<br />
twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.<br />
Ps 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.<br />
Ps 18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.<br />
Ps 18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken <strong>by</strong> mine arms.<br />
Ps 18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me<br />
up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.<br />
Ps 18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.<br />
Ps 18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they<br />
were consumed.<br />
Ps 18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.<br />
Ps 18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me<br />
those that rose up against me.<br />
Ps 18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that<br />
hate me.<br />
Heb 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because<br />
they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.<br />
