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 />
Pr 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.<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 />
Lu 9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and<br />
whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the<br />
same shall be great.<br />
Lu 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be<br />
exalted.<br />
Lu 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every<br />
one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.<br />
In well-nigh every Epistle, humility is commended to Christians as one of the first virtues. (Rom.<br />
12:3,16; 1 Cor. 13:4; Gal. 5:22,26; Eph. 4:2; Phil. 2:3; Col. 2:13)<br />
Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to<br />
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath<br />
dealt to every man the measure of faith.<br />
Ro 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to<br />
men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.<br />
1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is<br />
not puffed up,<br />
Ga 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,<br />
Ga 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.<br />
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;<br />
Phil 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each<br />
esteem other better than themselves.<br />
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he<br />
quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses<br />
It is the feature in the image of Jesus which He seeks chiefly to impress on His disciples. His whole<br />
incarnation and redemption has its roots in His humiliation. (Matt. 20:26,28; Luke 22:27; John<br />
13:14,15; Phil. 2:7,8)<br />
Mt 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be<br />
your minister;<br />
Mt 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give<br />
