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 />
Lebanon.<br />
Lu 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put<br />
a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:<br />
Ac 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of<br />
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which<br />
are sanctified <strong>by</strong> faith that is in me.<br />
Ro 5:1 <strong>The</strong>refore being justified <strong>by</strong> faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus<br />
Christ:<br />
Ro 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts <strong>by</strong><br />
the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.<br />
Not only does God not impute sin any more, -- that is but one half, -- but He reckons to us the<br />
righteousness of Jesus also, so that for His sake we are as dear to God as He is. Not only is wrath<br />
turned away from us, but the fulness of love now rests upon us. 'I will love them freely, for Mine<br />
anger is turned away from him.' Forgiveness is access to all the love of God. On this account,<br />
forgiveness is also introduction to all the other blessings of redemption. Live in the full assurance of<br />
forgiveness, and let the Spirit fill your heart with the certitude and the blessedness of it, and you shall<br />
have great confidence in expecting all from God. Learn from the word of God, through the Spirit, to<br />
know God aright, and to trust Him as the ever-forgiving God. That is His name and His glory. To one<br />
to whom much, yea, all is forgiven, He will also give much. He will give all. (Ps. 103:3; Isa. 12:1,3;<br />
Rom. 5:10; 8:32; Eph. 1:7; 3:5)<br />
Ps 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;<br />
Isa 12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry<br />
with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.<br />
Isa 12:3 <strong>The</strong>refore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.<br />
Ro 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God <strong>by</strong> the death of his Son,<br />
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved <strong>by</strong> his life.<br />
Ro 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with<br />
him also freely give us all things?<br />
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to<br />
the riches of his grace;<br />
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed<br />
unto his holy apostles and prophets <strong>by</strong> the Spirit<br />
Let it therefore be every day your joyful thanksgiving. 'Bless the Lord, O my soul, who forgiveth all<br />
mine iniquities.' <strong>The</strong>n forgiveness becomes the power of a new life: 'He who is forgiven much, loves<br />
much.' <strong>The</strong> forgiveness of sins, received anew in living faith every day, is a bond that binds anew to<br />
