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 />
Ps 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.<br />
Ps 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.<br />
Still it is not yet properly in the heart. From the court there is an entrance into the innermost<br />
sanctuary; the entrance of the door is faith. What I believe, that I receive into my heart. (John 5:38;<br />
Acts 8:37; Rom. 10:10,17)<br />
Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.<br />
Ac 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered<br />
and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.<br />
Ro 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is<br />
made unto salvation.<br />
Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh <strong>by</strong> hearing, and hearing <strong>by</strong> the word of God.<br />
Here it then becomes held fast in love and in the surrender of the will. Where this takes place, there<br />
the heart becomes the sanctuary of God. His law is there, as in the ark, and the soul cries out: '<strong>The</strong> law<br />
is within my heart.' (Ex. 25:16; Ps. 37:31; 40:9; Col. 3:16)<br />
Ex 25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.<br />
Ps 37:31 <strong>The</strong> law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.<br />
Ps 40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my<br />
lips, O LORD, thou knowest.<br />
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing<br />
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the<br />
Lord.<br />
Young Christian, God has asked your heart, your love, your whole self. You have given yourself to<br />
Him. He has received you, and would have you and your heart entirely for Himself. He will make that<br />
heart full of His word. What is in the heart one holds dear, because one thinks continually on that<br />
which gives joy. God would have the word in the heart. Where His word is, there is He Himself and<br />
His might. He considers Himself bound to fulfil His word; when you have the word, you have God<br />
Himself to work in you. (Gen. 21:1; Josh. 23:14)<br />
Ge 21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had<br />
spoken.<br />
Jos 23:14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your<br />
hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the<br />
LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath<br />
failed thereof.<br />
