Description
Abide in Christ is one of Andrew Murrays (1828 1917) most complete and distinguished works on the teachings of Jesus Christ. This extensive collection of meditations on the concept of abiding in Christ, as explained in the Bible, has been read by many devout Christians and great men and women throughout the past century. Its aim is to help modern day followers follow Christs teachings in real life, and apply them to even the most seemingly mundane and trivial aspects of their personal and social lives.The books main focus is to inspire readers through the authors own thoughts on following the Son of God regardless of the situation at hand. For many years, both the followers of the Church and the devout Christians who were heads of family, business owners or just regular people living from day to day have tried to reconcile the seemingly harsh realities of life with the Gospel. Andrew Murray is one of those who came very close to succeeding in more than one avenue of this goal.Murray initially wanted to become a minister more as a career choice rather than through faith. However, after he finished his general studies, his theological studies truly began as he wrote a letter to his parents informing them that their son was born again through Christ.The following years found Murray traveling to the harshlands of South Africas most remote parishes, achieving enough recognition to receive a more prestigious position in Cape Town and writing his own interpretations for the Holy Scripture.As one of his best and most recognized books, Abide in Christ leads us through all the passages on abiding in Christ, and speaks in great detail on topics such as Jesus wisdom and love, the Christ and the Father, finding strength in the face of adversity and forsaking all for the purpose of following Christ in every area of ones life.
