Abide in Christ

Description

Andrew Murray lived from 1828 through 1917. He is probably best known for his devotional writing style, leaving us numerous books that seek to glorify Jesus and encourage Christians in their walk with Him.

As someone who held to the “higher life movement,” which is not without controversy, we must read his writings, as with any fallible author, like the Bereans, who examined “the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” This does not negate at all the many blessings we can gain from His writings, encouraging us to pursue Jesus with greater fervency.

In his classic, Abide in Christ, he highlights the eternal reality that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, whereby we are utterly dependent on the One who supplies all spiritual life, growth, and fruitfulness.
