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 />
Confirm this surrender anew. Say to Him that you now begin to see better how complete the surrender<br />
to Him must be, and renew every day the voluntary, entire, and undivided offering up of yourselves to<br />
Him. (Luke 18:28; Phil. 3:7,8)<br />
Luke 18:28 <strong>The</strong>n Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.<br />
Phil 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.<br />
Phil 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of<br />
Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but<br />
dung, that I may win Christ<br />
<strong>The</strong> longer we continue Christians, the deeper will be our insight into that word: surrender to Jesus.<br />
We shall always see more clearly that we do not yet fully understand or contemplate it. <strong>The</strong> surrender<br />
must become, especially, more undivided and trustful.<br />
<strong>The</strong> language which Ahab once used must be ours: 'According to thy saying, my lord, O king, I am<br />
thine, and all that I have' (1 Kings 20:4). This is the language of undivided dedication: I am thine, and<br />
all that I have. Keep nothing back. Keep back no single sin that you do not confess and leave off.<br />
Without conversion there can be no surrender. (Matt. 7:21,27; John 3:20,21; 2 Tim. 2:19,21)<br />
Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;<br />
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.<br />
Mt 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that<br />
house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.<br />
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds<br />
should be reproved.<br />
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that<br />
they are wrought in God.<br />
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, <strong>The</strong> Lord knoweth<br />
them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.<br />
2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,<br />
sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.<br />
Keep back no single power. Let your head with all its thinking, your mouth with all its speaking, your<br />
heart with all its feeling, your hand with all its working -- let your time, your name, your influence,<br />
your property, let all be laid upon the altar. (Rom. 6:13,22; 12:1; 2 Cor. 5:15; Heb. 8:10; 1 Pet. 2:5)<br />
Ro 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield<br />
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of<br />
righteousness unto God.<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 />
