Over dit e-boek

As Christians, we have been saved and regenerated by God to be members of the Body of Christ and to come together to practice the Body life. This is God’s main and central will for us. The Body life is a basic and foundational matter in the Scriptures, and without it, it is impossible for us to be victorious, spiritual, or holy; to grow in life; or to be built up with other believers as a living expression of Christ. Central to our experience of the Body life is the exercise of our human spirit. God created a spirit within us specifically so that we could contact Him. Once we learn how to exercise our spirit to contact Him, everything that God is and has will become our daily experience. Through such a daily experience, God will be able to fulfill His purpose.

Over de auteur

Born in 1905 in northern China, Witness Lee was raised in a Christian family and educated in English-speaking schools. At the age of 19 he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and consecrated himself to preach the gospel. Early in his service, Witness Lee met Watchman Nee and began to labor together with him. In 1949 Witness Lee was sent by Watchman Nee to Taiwan to ensure that the things delivered to them by the Lord would be preserved. In 1962 Witness Lee came to the United States and began to minister here. He ministered in weekly conferences, delivering several thousand spoken messages until 1997. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. His major work, Life-Study of the Bible, comprises over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Spirit.
