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 />
Mt 10:24 <strong>The</strong> disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.<br />
Mt 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they<br />
have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his<br />
household?<br />
Mt 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth<br />
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.<br />
Mt 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.<br />
Lu 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell<br />
all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and<br />
come, follow me.<br />
Joh 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep<br />
it unto life eternal.<br />
Joh 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant<br />
be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.<br />
2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto<br />
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.<br />
He has taken me: I am His, and entirely at His service. (Matt. 28:20)<br />
Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am<br />
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<br />
Young Christian, hold firm your surrender, and make it always firmer. When there recurs a stumbling<br />
or a sin after you have surrendered yourself, think not the surrender was not sincere. No; the surrender<br />
to Jesus does not make us perfect at once. You have sinned, because you were not thoroughly or<br />
firmly enough in His arms. Adhere to this, although it be with shame: Lord, Thou knowest it, I have<br />
given myself to <strong>The</strong>e: I am Thine. (John 21:17; Gal. 6:1; 1 <strong>The</strong>ss. 5:24; 2 Tim. 2:13; 1 John 5:16)<br />
Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was<br />
grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,<br />
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.<br />
Ga 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in<br />
the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.<br />
1Th 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.<br />
2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.<br />
1Jo 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall<br />
give him life for them that sin not unto death. <strong>The</strong>re is a sin unto death: I do not say that he<br />
shall pray for it.<br />
