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 />
word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.<br />
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,<br />
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a<br />
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.<br />
His tender love will through the word receive us into the gentlest and most intimate fellowship with<br />
Himself. (John 10:4)<br />
Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow<br />
him: for they know his voice.<br />
His love will give us out of the word what is, like warm soft milk, just fitted for our weakness. Let no<br />
one suppose that the word is too high or too hard for him. For the disciple who receives the word, and<br />
trustfully relies on Jesus to teach him <strong>by</strong> the Spirit, the word of God shall practically prove to be<br />
gentle sweet milk for new-born infants. (Ps 119:18; John 14:26; Eph. 1:17-18)<br />
Ps 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.<br />
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,<br />
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said<br />
unto you.<br />
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the<br />
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:<br />
Eph 1:18 <strong>The</strong> eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope<br />
of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints<br />
Dear young Christian, would you continue standing, would you become strong, would you always<br />
live for the Lord? <strong>The</strong>n hear this day the voice of your Father: 'As new-born babes, long for the<br />
spiritual milk that is without guile.' Receive this word into your heart and hold it fast as the voice of<br />
your Father: on your use of the word of God will your spiritual life depend. Let the word of God be<br />
precious to you above everything. (Ps 119:14,47,48,111,127)<br />
Ps 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.<br />
Ps 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.<br />
Ps 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will<br />
meditate in thy statutes.<br />
Ps 119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my<br />
heart.<br />
Ps 119:127 <strong>The</strong>refore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.<br />
Above all, forget not this: the word is the milk; the sucking or drinking on the part of the little child is<br />
the inner, living, blessed fellowship with the mother's love. Through the Holy Spirit your use of the<br />
milk of the word can become warm, living fellowship with the Living Love of your God. O long then<br />
very eagerly for the milk. Do not take the word as something that is hard and troublesome to<br />
