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.

2. It is remarkable that the trinity of the god of this world, in John's Epistle, is seen as well in the<br />
temptation in Paradise as in that of the Lord Jesus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lust of the flesh:<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman saw that the tree was good for food. Command that those stones become bread.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lust of the eyes:<br />
And that it was a delight to the eyes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> devil showeth Him all the kingdoms of the world. And the vainglory of life.<br />
And that the tree was to be desired to make one wise. Cast Thyself down.<br />
3. Consider what I say to you: It is only conformity to Jesus that will keep out conformity to the<br />
world. Let conformity to Jesus be the study, the endeavour of your soul.<br />
XLI. THE LORD'S DAY<br />
'And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it: because that in it He rested from all His work<br />
which God had created.' -- Gen. 2:3 'On that day, the first day of the week, Jesus came and stood in<br />
the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.' -- John 20:19 'I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day.'<br />
-- Rev. 1:10<br />
Man abides under the law of time. He must have time for what he would do or obtain. In a wonderful<br />
way God gives him time for intercourse with Himself. One day in seven God separated for fellowship<br />
with Himself. <strong>The</strong> great object of God's gift of this day is said to be, that it may serve as a token that<br />
God desires to sanctify man. (Ex. 31:13,17; Ezek. 20:12,20)<br />
Ex 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep:<br />
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am<br />
the LORD that doth sanctify you.<br />
Ex 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD<br />
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.<br />
Eze 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they<br />
might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.<br />
Eze 20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may<br />
know that I am the LORD your God.<br />
Endeavour, pray, to understand well that word 'holy:' it is one of the most important words in the<br />
Bible. God is the Holy One: that alone is holy to which God communicates His holiness <strong>by</strong> revealing<br />
Himself there<strong>by</strong>. We know that the temple was holy, because God dwelt there. God had taken<br />
possession of it. He gave Himself to dwell there. So would God also sanctify man, take possession of<br />
