The believers are God's masterpiece in Christ through His death, resurrection, and ascension. We Christians are persons in Christ, enjoying redemption, life, peace, victory, and all spiritual blessings in Him.
Christians should live by the first principle, not by the second. These are the principle of life and the principle of right or wrong. The twofoldness is this: On one hand God desires us to "work out" our salvation, and on the other hand, God "works in" us. It was published in English and translated into Chinese. This book contains messages on Romans 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 given by Watchman Nee on his trip to Europe in 19.
The Overcoming Life (1 John 5:12 Phil. 10:5), speech (James 1:26), the lust of the body (Rom. 5:8 Phil 4:7), soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), thought (2 Cor. This book tells us that God's salvation extends into our conscience (Heb. The Extent of the Believer's Salvation. Having Been Made Dead to the Law (Rom. Anyone who reads this book should keep in mind the above remarks. However, having later realized in Taiwan that with the exception of the chapter on spiritual warfare, this book could be quite helpful to believers in the matter of spiritual life, we decided to reprint it. For this reason he made a final decision to discontinue the publication of this book. But over ten years after the publication of The Spiritual Man, Watchman began to realize that spiritual warfare, according to Ephesians 6, must be carried out by the Body of Christ in a corporate way. Roberts and Penn-Lewis saw only the individual aspect of spiritual warfare, and thus they presented it as a difficult matter. He told me that his view of spiritual warfare in The Spiritual Man was based mainly upon the writings and experience of Evan Roberts and Jessie Penn-Lewis. This was especially true after 1939 when he saw that spiritual warfare was not an individual matter but a corporate one. For these reasons he decided not to publish further editions. He also felt that the book was too perfectly written and too detailed. It covers the following main points: 1) the three parts of man-spirit, soul, and body 2) the distinction between soul and spirit 3) the fleshly Christian 4) the soulish believer 5) the subjective aspect of the cross and the work of the Holy Spirit 6) the spiritual man and 7) the spiritual warfare.Īfter publishing two editions of The Spiritual Man, Watchman Nee realized that many of his readers became introspective. This book was not only the central one but also the greatest one among Brother Nee's writings. Published in three volumes in the fall of 1928. This book was the initial step to writing The Spiritual Man. (original English title: The Christian Life and Warfare) published in June 1927. All the books in the other categories mentioned in the first part of this chapter were intended by him to prepare the believers to apprehend these central messages, which were mainly contained in the following twenty-two books: He also translated books in this same category into Chinese. His burden to hold the overcomer conferences and to publish The Present Testimony was to present such central messages. For this reason, he considered messages on these matters as the central messages. His ministry, therefore, was focused on Christ's death and resurrection for the producing of the church in life to experience the victory of Christ that His kingdom might be ushered in. 
The Lord burdened and commissioned Watchman Nee with a specific testimony of Christ in His crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, return, and kingdom. The remaining eighty were given by Watchman Nee. Of the one hundred two messages remaining, ten were given by Yu Cheng-hwa and twelve by Witness Lee. Thirty-five of these messages were reprints of the above-mentioned books, and seven were reprints of books on central messages. He also published one hundred forty-four messages in twelve volumes called Twelve Baskets Full.
