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.

his life a ransom for many.<br />
Lu 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth<br />
at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.<br />
Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one<br />
another's feet.<br />
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.<br />
Phil 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was<br />
made in the likeness of men:<br />
Phil 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto<br />
death, even the death of the cross.<br />
Take singly some of these words of God from time to time and lay them up in your heart. <strong>The</strong> tree of<br />
life yields many different kinds of seed -- the seed also of the heavenly plant, lowliness. <strong>The</strong> seeds are<br />
the words of God. Carry them in your heart: they shall shoot up and yield fruit. (1 <strong>The</strong>ss. 2:13; Heb.<br />
4:12; Jas. 1:21)<br />
1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the<br />
word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the<br />
word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.<br />
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,<br />
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a<br />
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.<br />
Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with<br />
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.<br />
Consider, moreover, how lovely, how becoming, how well-pleasing to God, lowliness is. As man,<br />
created for the honour of God, you find it befitting you. (Gen. 1:27; 1 Cor. 11:7)<br />
Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and<br />
female created he them.<br />
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory<br />
of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.<br />
As a sinner, deeply unworthy, you have nothing more to urge against it. (Job 40:6; Isa. 6:5; Luke 5:8)<br />
Job 40:6 <strong>The</strong>n answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,<br />
Isa 6:5 <strong>The</strong>n said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I<br />
dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of<br />
