The Master's Indwelling

The first book to be read is Andrew Murray's AN EXCITING NEW LIFE. This book first points out the difference between the CARNAL, those whom are saved but still indulge to the FLESH and the SPIRITUAL, whom DENY THE FLESH. Then the book focuses on the SELF as something to also be DENIED. Then the book focuses on DENYING THE WORLD as a means to entering peace. The worldly things are to be replaced by THE KINGDOM OF GOD, or being like Christ by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then the book explains our NEW LIFE IN CHRIST by dependence on God in every aspect of our lives and by our DEATH TO SELF accomplished by faith in Christ. HUMILITY, DEATH, and SURRENDER are the marks of a Christian CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST. Then JOY, and FAITH grow in a growing Christian. Mr. Murray ends with the point that GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL. By this he means that gradually CHRIST MUST INCREASE WHILE I MUST DECREASE.

In this book Andrew Murray covers the fundamental steps in the Christian walk in a very benifical way if the reader applys what is covered. Should be required reading for any Christian truly wanting to grow in Christ. Murray in his writtings stresses the aspect of the believer being In Christ and out from that position comes all of his living.
