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.

1Ch 8:15 And Zebadiah, and Arad, and Ader,<br />

1Ch 8:24 And Hananiah, and Elam, and Antothijah,<br />

Ps 119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to<br />

hope.<br />

When I have a word of God in which He promises to do something, I can always remain sure that He<br />

will do it. I have simply to take and hold fast the word, and there with wait upon God: God will take<br />

care that He fulfils His word to me. Before I ever feel or experience anything, I hold fast the promise,<br />

and I know <strong>by</strong> faith that God will make it good to me. (Luke 1:38,45; John 3:33; 4:50; 11:40; 20:29;<br />

Heb. 11:11,18)<br />

Lu 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.<br />

And the angel departed from her.<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 />

Joh 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.<br />

Joh 4:50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that<br />

Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.<br />

Joh 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou<br />

shouldest see the glory of God?<br />

Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed<br />

are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.<br />

Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered<br />

of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.<br />

Heb 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called<br />

What, now, is faith? Nothing other than the certitude that what God says is true. When God says that<br />

something subsists or is, then does faith rejoice, although it sees nothing of it. (Rom. 1:17; 4:5; 5:1;<br />

Gal. 3:27; Eph. 1:19; 3:17)<br />

Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, <strong>The</strong><br />

just shall live <strong>by</strong> faith.<br />

Ro 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is<br />

counted for righteousness.<br />

Ro 5:1 <strong>The</strong>refore being justified <strong>by</strong> faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus<br />

Christ:<br />

Ga 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.<br />
