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.

It is only the spiritual impulse of a personal cordial love that can set us in a condition for a life of<br />
complete consecration. Continually did Jesus use the words: 'For My sake,' 'Follow Me,' 'My disciple';<br />
He Himself must be the central point. (Matt. 10:32,33,37,38,40: Luke 14:26,27,33; 18:22)<br />
Mt 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my<br />
Father which is in heaven.<br />
Mt 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father<br />
which is in heaven.<br />
Mt 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth<br />
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.<br />
Mt 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.<br />
Mt 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent<br />
me.<br />
Lu 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,<br />
and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.<br />
Lu 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.<br />
Lu 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be<br />
my disciple.<br />
Lu 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell<br />
all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and<br />
come, follow me.<br />
He gave Himself: to desire to have Him, to love, to depend on Him, is the characteristic of a disciple.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there is public confession. What has been given to any one, that he will have acknowledged <strong>by</strong><br />
all as his property. His possessions are his glory. When the Lord Jesus manifests His great grace to a<br />
soul in redeeming it, He desires that the world should see and know it: He would be known and<br />
honoured as its proprietor. He desires that every one that belongs to Him should confess Him, and that<br />
it should come out that Jesus is King. (Ex. 33:16; Josh. 24:15; John 13:35)<br />
Ex 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy<br />
sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the<br />
people that are upon the face of the earth.<br />
Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will<br />
serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or<br />
the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the<br />
LORD.<br />
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.<br />
