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 />
He dwells in the midst of His people. (Ex. 25:11; Isa. 2:6; 43:15; 49:7; 57:15; Hos. 11:9)<br />
Ex 25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and<br />
shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.<br />
Isa 2:6 <strong>The</strong>refore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished<br />
from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the<br />
children of strangers.<br />
Isa 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.<br />
Isa 49:7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man<br />
despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise,<br />
princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and<br />
he shall choose thee.<br />
Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I<br />
dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive<br />
the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.<br />
Ho 11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for<br />
I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.<br />
Redemption is given to bring us to Himself and to the fellowship of His holiness. We cannot possibly<br />
have part in the love and salvation of God if we are not holy as He is holy. (Isa. 10:18; Heb. 12:14)<br />
Isa 10:18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body:<br />
and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.<br />
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord<br />
Young Christians, be holy. And what is this holiness that I must have? Answer: Of God are ye in<br />
Christ, who of God is made unto you sanctification. Christ is your sanctification; the life of Christ in<br />
you is your holiness. (1 Cor. 1:3; Eph. 5:27)<br />
1Co 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or<br />
any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.<br />
In Christ you are sanctified; you are holy. In Christ you must still be sanctified; the glory of Christ<br />
must penetrate your whole life. Holiness is more than purity. In Scripture we see that cleansing<br />
precedes holiness. (2 Cor. 7:1; Eph. 5:26,27; 2 Tim. 2:21)<br />
2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all<br />
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.<br />
