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 />
It is His work, it is His desire to set you free from it. O learn then always to come to Jesus with every<br />
sin. Sin is your deadly foe: if you confess it to Jesus, and surrender it to Him, you shall certainly<br />
overcome it. (Rom. 7:4,9; 8:2; 2 Cor. 7:9; 2 <strong>The</strong>ss 2:3)<br />
Ro 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law <strong>by</strong> the body of Christ; that<br />
ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring<br />
forth fruit unto God.<br />
Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived,<br />
and I died.<br />
Ro 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin<br />
and death.<br />
2Co 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye<br />
were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage <strong>by</strong> us in nothing.<br />
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you <strong>by</strong> any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a<br />
falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition<br />
Learn to believe this firmly: this is the second point. Understand that Jesus, Jesus Himself, is the<br />
Saviour from sin. It is not you that must overcome sin with the help of Jesus, but Jesus Himself: Jesus<br />
in you. (Deut. 8:17,18; Ps. 44:4,8; John 16:33; 1 John 5:4,5)<br />
De 8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this<br />
wealth.<br />
De 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get<br />
wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.<br />
Ps 44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.<br />
Ps 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.<br />
Joh 16:33 <strong>The</strong>se things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye<br />
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.<br />
1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that<br />
overcometh the world, even our faith.<br />
1Jo 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?<br />
If you would thus become free from sin, if you would enjoy full salvation, let it be the one endeavour<br />
of your life to stand always in full fellowship with Jesus. Wait not till you enter into temptation ere<br />
you have recourse to Jesus. But let your life beforehand be always through Jesus. Let His nearness be<br />
your one desire; Jesus saves from sin; to have Jesus is salvation from sin (1 Cor. 15:10; Gal. 2:20;<br />
Phil. 4:13; Col 3:3-5)<br />
1Co 15:10 But <strong>by</strong> the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me<br />
was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God<br />
