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 />
2Co 13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is<br />
mighty in you.<br />
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts <strong>by</strong> faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in<br />
love,<br />
Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth,<br />
and height<br />
Yet this cannot be apart from our faith. Faith is the consent of the heart, the surrender to Him to work,<br />
the reception of His working. 'Be it unto you according to your faith,' is one of the fundamental laws<br />
of the kingdom of God. (Zech. 8:6; Matt 8:29; Luke 1:37,45; 18:27; Gal. 2:20)<br />
Zec 8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this<br />
people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.<br />
Mt 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of<br />
God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?<br />
Lu 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.<br />
Lu 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which<br />
were told her from the Lord.<br />
Lu 18:27 And he said, <strong>The</strong> things which are impossible with men are possible with God.<br />
Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the<br />
life which I now live in the flesh I live <strong>by</strong> the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave<br />
himself for me.<br />
It is something incredible what a power unbelief has to hinder the working and the blessing of the<br />
Almighty God. <strong>The</strong> Christian who would be partaker of conformity to Christ must specially cherish<br />
the firm trust that this blessing is within his reach, is entirely within the range of possibility. He must<br />
learn to look to Jesus as Him to whom he <strong>by</strong> the grace of God Almighty can, in his measure, be really<br />
conformable. He must believe that the same Spirit that was in Jesus is also in him; that the same<br />
Father that led and strengthened Jesus also watches over him; that the same Jesus that lived on earth<br />
now lives in him. He must cherish the strong assurance that this Three-One God is at work in<br />
changing him into the image of the Son. (John 14:19; 17:19; Rom. 8:2; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 1:19,10)<br />
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye<br />
shall live also.<br />
Joh 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the<br />
truth.<br />
Ro 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin<br />
and death.<br />
