About this ebook

John’s writings are complementary to the entire divine revelation. This means that the writings of John complete the Bible. His Gospel completes the Gospels, his Epistles complete the Epistles, and his Revelation completes the whole Bible. In the Life-study of the Epistles of John, Witness Lee emphasizes the outstanding matters in these Epistles in relation to the economy of God. Some of these matters include the divine life and its fellowship, the anointing, the divine birth and the divine seed, the walk in truth and in love, and the encouragement of the fellow workers in the truth.

In the Life-study of Jude, Witness Lee shows from Jude's Epistle the genuine contending for the faith and the believers' living in the Triune God issuing in their full enjoyment of Him.
