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 />
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 />
1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.<br />
1Jo 5:13 <strong>The</strong>se things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that<br />
ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.<br />
This does not mean, as many suppose, that our life shall now no more die, but shall endure into<br />
eternity. No: eternity life is nothing else than the very life of God, the life that He has had in Himself<br />
from eternity, and that has been visibly revealed in Christ. This life is now the portion of every child<br />
of God. (1 John 1:3; 3:1, 5:11)<br />
1Jo 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have<br />
fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.<br />
1Jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be<br />
called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.<br />
1Jo 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.<br />
This life is a life of inconceivable power. Whenever God gives life to a young plant or animal, that<br />
life has in itself the power of growth, where<strong>by</strong> the plant or animal as of itself becomes large. <strong>Life</strong> is<br />
power. In the new life, that is, in your heart, there is the power of eternity. (John 5:10,28; Heb.<br />
7:16,28; 2 Cor 7:9; 8:4; Col. 3:3-4; Phil. 4:13)<br />
Joh 5:10 <strong>The</strong> Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful<br />
for thee to carry thy bed.<br />
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall<br />
hear his voice,<br />
Heb 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an<br />
endless life.<br />
Heb 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath,<br />
which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.<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 />
2Co 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the<br />
fellowship of the ministering to the saints.<br />
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.<br />
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.<br />
Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.<br />
