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.

to sanctifying us, and revealing God within us. (Ps 51:12; 73:1; Matt. 5:8; 1 Tim 1:5; 2 Tim. 2:22; 1<br />

Pet. 1:22)<br />

Ps 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.<br />

Ps 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean<br />

heart.<br />

Mt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.<br />

1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good<br />

conscience, and of faith unfeigned:<br />

2Ti 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that<br />

call on the Lord out of a pure heart.<br />

1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto<br />

unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently<br />

Cleansing is through the blood. Forgiveness and cleansing are both through the blood. <strong>The</strong> blood<br />

breaks the power that sin has in heaven to condemn us. <strong>The</strong> blood there<strong>by</strong> also breaks the power of<br />

sin in the heart to hold us captive. <strong>The</strong> blood has a ceaseless operation in heaven from moment to<br />

moment. <strong>The</strong> blood has likewise a ceaseless operation in our heart, to purify, to keep pure the heart<br />

into which sin always seeks to penetrate from the flesh. <strong>The</strong> blood cleanses the conscience from dead<br />

works, to serve the living God. <strong>The</strong> marvelous power that the blood has in heaven, it has also in the<br />

heart. (John 13:10,11; Heb. 9:14; 10:22; 1 John 1:7)<br />

Joh 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean<br />

every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.<br />

Joh 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.<br />

Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered<br />

himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?<br />

Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts<br />

sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.<br />

1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,<br />

and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.<br />

Cleansing is also through the word, for the word testifies of the blood and of the power of God. (John<br />

14:3)<br />

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto<br />

myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.<br />
