About this ebook

If we intend to practice the church life, we must first see what the church is. The church is the Body of Christ, a group of people who have Christ living in them and who have given up their own life to take Christ as their life. A group of believers who do not take Christ as life may be genuine, born-again Christians, but their coming together will not be the real church life; it will simply be an assembly of people who are in the self. “The experience of the Body of Christ, the real church life, comes into being practically when we realize that Christ is our life and that we have been crucified with Him on the cross, when we renounce and deny our self, and when we take Christ as our life, live by Him, and apply Him in our daily life and walk. When we as such persons come together in and with Christ to share Christ with one another, we are the Body of Christ in a real way and are practicing the real church life.”

About the author

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.
