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.

will make like to the glorious body of His Son. We may wait for the coming of the Son Himself from<br />
heaven to take His own to Him. He will unite us in one body with all His chosen, and will receive and<br />
make us dwell for ever in His glory. O how can we think that God will not perfect His work? He will<br />
surely do it, He will gloriously do it, for every one that trusts Him for it.<br />
Child of God, pray, say in deep assurance of faith: <strong>The</strong> Lord will perfect that which concerneth me. In<br />
every need say continually with great boldness: I will call on God, that performeth all things for me.<br />
And let the song of your life be the joyful doxology: 'From Him, and through Him and to Him are all<br />
things: to Him be the glory for ever. Amen.<br />
Lord God, who shalt perfect that which concerneth me, teach me to know <strong>The</strong>e and to trust <strong>The</strong>e. And<br />
let every thought of the new life go hand in hand with the joyful assurance: He who began a work in<br />
me will perfect it. Amen.<br />
1. 'He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.' It brings but little profit to begin well; we<br />
must hold the beginning of our hope firm unto the end. (Matt. 10:27; 24:13; Heb. 3:14,16; 11:12)<br />
Mt 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that<br />
preach ye upon the housetops.<br />
Mt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.<br />
Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence<br />
stedfast unto the end;<br />
Heb 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt<br />
<strong>by</strong> Moses.<br />
Heb 11:12 <strong>The</strong>refore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of<br />
the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is <strong>by</strong> the sea shore innumerable.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> perseverance of the saints -- in holiness -- is one of the characteristic articles of doctrine of the<br />
Reformed Church. <strong>The</strong> grace of regeneration is inadmissible.<br />
3. How do we explain the falling away of some believers? <strong>The</strong>y were only temporary believers: they<br />
were partakers only of the workings of the Spirit. (Heb. 6:4)<br />
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the<br />
heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost<br />
4. How do I know whether I am partaker of the true new birth? 'As many as are led <strong>by</strong> the Spirit of<br />
God, they are the sons of God' (Rom. 8:14).<br />
