“When we bathe, we enter into the most intimate relationship with the water, giving ourselves up to its cleansing effects. The blood of Jesus is described as ‘a fountain opened...for sin and for uncleanness’ (Zechariah 13:1). By the power of the Holy Spirit, it streams through the heavenly temple. By faith, I place myself in closest contact with this heavenly stream; I yield myself to it; I let it cover me and go through me. I bathe in the fountain. It cannot withhold its cleansing and strengthening power. I must, in simple faith, turn away from what is seen, to plunge into the spiritual fountain that represents the Savior’s blood, with the assurance that it will manifest its blessed power in me.” (source)
“‘Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me’” (source)
“His readers had to know that they had been redeemed and what that redemption signified; but above all, they had to know that it was not ‘with corruptible things, as silver and gold’ (verse 18), things in which there was no power of life, ‘but with the precious blood of Christ’ (verse 19). To have a correct perception of what the preciousness of that blood was (as the power of a perfect redemption) would be to them the power of a new and holy life.” (source)
“The penitent sinner who turns from his sin to God needs only faith in that blood. That is, he needs only faith in the power of the blood, that it has truly atoned for sin and that it really has atoned for him. Through that faith, he knows that he is fully reconciled to God and that there is now not the least thing to hinder God’s pouring out on him the fullness of His love and blessing.” (source)

Andrew Murray (May 9, 1828–January 18, 1917) was a South African pastor, teacher, and writer. He was educated in Aberdeen, Scotland, and at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. In 1848, Murray was ordained in the Dutch Reformed Church and returned to live and work in South Africa.
Murray was very focused on missions, considering it to be “the chief end of the church.” In 1889 he cofounded the South African General Mission with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. As their work spread throughout the continent, the mission’s name changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF), and in 1998 AEF joined SIM which today has over 1,800 active missionaries in over 43 countries. Andrew Murray authored over 240 books, including Abide in Christ, The Holiest of All, The Spiritual Life, and The Mystery of the True Vine.
