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 />
of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.<br />
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause<br />
he is not ashamed to call them brethren<br />
For this end He gave Him to us. <strong>The</strong> whole of salvation consists in this: to have, to possess, to enjoy<br />
Jesus. God has given His Son, given Him wholly to become ours. (Ps. 73:25; 142:6; John 20:28; Heb.<br />
3:14)<br />
Ps 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside<br />
thee.<br />
Ps 142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for<br />
they are stronger than I.<br />
Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.<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 />
What have we, then, to do? To take Him, to receive and to appropriate to ourselves the gift, to enjoy<br />
Jesus as our own. This is eternal life. 'He that hath the Son hath life.' (John 1:12; 2 Cor. 3:13,5; Col.<br />
2:6; 1 John 5:12)<br />
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even<br />
to them that believe on his name:<br />
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not<br />
stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:<br />
2Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our<br />
sufficiency is of God;<br />
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:<br />
1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.<br />
How I do wish, then, that all young Christians may understand this. <strong>The</strong> one great work of God's love<br />
for us is, He gives us His Son. In Him we have all. Hence the one great work of our heart must be to<br />
receive this Jesus who has been given to us, to consider Him and use Him as ours. I must begin every<br />
day anew with the thought, I have Jesus to do all for me. (John 15:5; Rom. 8:37; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph.<br />
1:3; 2:10; Phil. 4:13; 2 Tim. 1:12)<br />
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same<br />
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.<br />
