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 />
Ex 6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in<br />
bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.<br />
Ex 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the<br />
house of bondage.<br />
De 24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all<br />
that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.<br />
On this account, Jesus said on earth: 'If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.' And the<br />
Holy Scriptures teach us to stand fast in the freedom with which Christ made us free. A right insight<br />
into this freedom opens up to us one of the greatest glories of the life that the grace of God has<br />
prepared for us. (John 8:32,36; Gal. 4:21,31; 5:1)<br />
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.<br />
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.<br />
Ga 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?<br />
Ga 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.<br />
Ga 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not<br />
entangled again with the yoke of bondage.<br />
In the three passages, from the Epistle to the Romans, in which sanctification is dealt with, a threefold<br />
freedom is spoken of. <strong>The</strong>re is freedom from sin in the sixth chapter, freedom from the law in the<br />
seventh, freedom from the law of sin in the eighth.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is freedom from sin (Rom. 6:7,18,22).<br />
Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.<br />
Ro 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.<br />
Ro 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit<br />
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.<br />
Sin is represented as a power that rules over man, under which he is brought and taken captive, and<br />
that urges him as a slave to evil. (John 8:34; Rom. 7:14,23; 2 Pet. 2:19)<br />
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the<br />
servant of sin.<br />
Ro 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.<br />
Ro 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and<br />
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.<br />
