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 />
1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for<br />
me, but all things edify not.<br />
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the<br />
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God,<br />
and they shall be my people.<br />
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch<br />
not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,<br />
2Ti 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please<br />
him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.<br />
Abstinence even from lawful things is often indispensable for the full imitation of the Lord Jesus.<br />
Live as one who is really separated for God and His holiness. He who renounces everything, who<br />
counts everything loss for Jesus' sake, shall even in this life receive an hundredfold. (Gen. 22:16,17; 2<br />
Chron. 25:9; Luke 18:29; John 12:24,25; Phil. 3:8)<br />
Ge 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this<br />
thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:<br />
Ge 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the<br />
stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the<br />
gate of his enemies;<br />
2Ch 25:9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents<br />
which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, <strong>The</strong> LORD is able to<br />
give thee much more than this.<br />
Lu 18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, <strong>The</strong>re is no man that hath left house, or<br />
parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,<br />
Joh 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it<br />
abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.<br />
Joh 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep<br />
it unto life eternal.<br />
Phil 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of<br />
Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but<br />
dung, that I may win Christ<br />
And what I separate from everything, I will use. Entire consecration has its eye upon making us useful<br />
and fit for God and His service. Let there not be with you the least doubt as to whether God has need<br />
of you, and will make you a great blessing. Only give yourself unreservedly into His hands. Present<br />
yourself to Him, that He may fill you with His blessing, His love, His Spirit: you shall be a blessing.<br />
(2 Tim. 2:21)<br />
