About this ebook

God’s purpose for us is that we would express Him and subdue His enemy. However, as created men we cannot accomplish this purpose by ourselves. Rather, it is by taking the Lord as our life that we can fulfill God’s purpose. When Christ enters into us, He does everything in us and through us, and we are able to do all things in Him. He becomes our life supply, and the issue of enjoying this life supply is the growth in life. Then, by the growth in life we are spontaneously united and built up together to be one entity, the Body of Christ. It is through the Body of Christ that God’s purpose is accomplished.

 

“If we practice what has been ministered to us regarding how to grow in life, how to serve the Lord, and how to build up the church, the Lord will bestow His abundant blessing upon the church with all the saints. The Lord will bless us not only spiritually but also physically, even in material things. He will bless us all-inclusively because we are caring for His heart’s desire to build up His church.”

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.
