About Life-study of the Bible

The purpose of the Life-study of the Bible, as expressed by Witness Lee, is to present the truths contained in the New Testament, to minister the life supply, to solve the common and hard problems found in the New Testament, and to open up every book of the New Testament by giving a thorough interpretation of it. We believe that these volumes, containing the very essence of the New Testament ministry which is for the carrying out of God’s divine economy, will serve as an entrance into a deeper and extensive understanding of the divine truths and will also render much life supply and nourishment to the church of God today and in the coming generations. May the Lord use the ministry of His word in these volumes to sanctify the church until she is fully prepared to be His bride, His counterpart, for His satisfaction (Eph. 5:26-27).

The church’s knowledge of the Lord and His truth has been continually progressing. The Life-study of the Bible, a monumental and classic work by Witness Lee, builds upon and is a further development of all that the Lord has revealed to His church in the past centuries. It is filled with the revelation concerning the processed Triune God, the living Christ, the life-giving Spirit, the experience of life, and the definition and practice of the church.

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers Paul’s suffering for the gospel and his enjoyment of grace. What does it mean to suffer for the gospel? What is grace, and how can we enjoy it? It may seem easy to answer such questions in a natural way, but the book of Philippians reveals that suffering for the gospel and enjoying grace are deep matters; indeed, it is the enjoyment of grace that enables us to be sustained in suffering for the gospel.

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the matter of magnifying Christ by living Him (Phil. 1:19-21). In Philippians 1:20 the apostle Paul says, “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.” In Paul’s bodily sufferings, Christ was magnified, exalted, and extolled. His sufferings afforded him opportunity to express Christ in His unlimited greatness. Philippians is concerned with the experience of Christ. To magnify Christ under any circumstances is to experience Him with the topmost enjoyment.

    About This eBooklet

    Philippians 1 reveals that there is a vast difference between enjoying the presence of Christ and living Christ. Here, the apostle Paul considers these two ways of experiencing Christ, and he ponders a choice that is before him: to die and enjoy the presence of Christ in a fuller way, or to remain and have further opportunities to live Christ. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee presents Paul’s choice and fellowships concerning how it relates to us in our Christian life.

    About This eBooklet

    In Philippians 1:27 the apostle Paul charges the Philippians to stand firm in one spirit and to strive with one soul. “Nowhere else in the Bible are the terms spirit and soul used together in this way…What is the difference between ‘in one spirit’ and ‘with one soul’? Why does Paul not say ‘with one spirit’ and ‘in one soul’? And why does Paul say ‘stand firm…striving together” instead of ‘stand firm and strive together’?” In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee answers these questions and presents the significance of this passage in the Bible.

    About This eBooklet

    The apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians while he was in prison, but his concern was not related to his imprisonment. Rather, Paul was concerned about the Philippian believers’ attitude and for the kind of spirit they had toward him. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee fellowships concerning the apostle’s entreaty to the believers in Philippians 2:2. “Paul was not troubled by his imprisonment, but he was troubled by the situation among the believers in Philippi. He was very concerned about their spiritual condition. Therefore, Paul appealed to the Philippians to make him happy to the uttermost. Paul needed their encouragement, consolation, and fellowship to be a support to him. If the Philippians would render him such support, they would make his joy full.”

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee presents Christ as our pattern as revealed in Philippians 2. In these verses we see that Christ our pattern is not only objective and in the heavens but also subjective and within us. Taking Christ as our pattern is a matter of cooperation, not imitation; and through our cooperation, this pattern becomes our salvation.

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee fellowships concerning the exaltation of Christ as revealed in Philippians 2:9-12: “My burden in this booklet is to relate the exaltation of Christ to our spiritual experience. God has already exalted Christ, but have you exalted Him? Christ has been exalted in the universe, but has He been exalted in you?...I do not care to talk about the exaltation of Christ in an objective way, but to apply this to our subjective experience.”

What, then, does it mean to work out our salvation, and how can we do such a thing? In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee presents the answers to these questions and offers a deeper view of Paul’s word to the Philippian believers.

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee presents the matter of being like-souled: “I treasure the expression ‘like-souled’ used by Paul in Philippians 2:20. This short phrase opens a window through which we can see the secret for us to experience Christ in a way which issues in a true concern for the churches. I hope that we all will come to know this precious secret.”

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee gives a word on the matters of being like-souled and of risking our soul (Phil. 2:20, 30). “Without spiritual experience, we cannot have an adequate understanding of Paul’s thought in these verses. Mere reading without experience is not sufficient. Through our experience in the church life and through observation, we have come to understand at least to some extent what Paul means when he speaks of being like-souled and of risking the soul.”

    About This eBooklet

    Philippians 3:7-8 says, “But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss on account of Christ. But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them refuse that I may gain Christ.” In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee offers a deeper view of these verses. “Many of us have known Philippians 3:7 and 8 for years, and we are very familiar with these verses. However, we probably have not touched the depths of this part of chapter three. Without this, we cannot be initiated into the genuine experience of Christ. You may have heard many messages on how Paul counted all things loss on account of Christ and on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. But has knowing these verses in an objective way brought you into the real experience of Christ? I believe that, if we are honest, we shall have to admit that we have not experienced Christ according to these verses. The reason for this lack of experience is that, until now, we have not probed into the depths of Paul’s thought in this portion of the Word.”

    About This eBooklet

    In Philippians 3:9 we see that the apostle Paul’s earnest desire was to be found in Christ, and in this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee explains what this means and how we, too, can be found in Him. Paul “expected to be found in Christ by all those who observed him—the Jews, the angels, and the demons. This indicates that he aspired to have his whole being immersed in Christ and saturated with Christ so that all who observed him could discover him in Christ.”

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the two kinds of knowing that the apostle Paul uses in Philippians 3. “To have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ in Philippians 3:8 is by revelation. But to know Him in verse 10 is by experience—to have the experiential knowledge of Him, to experience Him in the full knowledge of Him. Paul first received the revelation of Christ and then sought for the experience of Christ—to know and enjoy Him in an experiential way.”

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the way the apostle Paul speaks of his conversion in Philippians 3. “Have you ever heard anyone say that at the time he was converted Christ gained him so that he might gain Christ? We need to realize that Christ has gained us that we might gain Him. Then we need to use Paul’s expression to uplift our conversation about conversion. Christ gained us not merely for the sake of forgiveness, redemption, salvation, or heaven. I repeat, He gained us for the definite purpose that we might gain Him.”

At the beginning of chapter three, Paul changes his emphasis.” In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers this change of emphasis and Paul’s basic concept in Philippians 3.

In chapter one of Philippians, Christ is the life for us to live; in chapter two, Christ is the pattern for us to follow; and in chapter three, Christ is the goal and the prize for us to pursue. Now in chapter four, Christ is the secret and also the power for us to enjoy.”

    The apostle Paul used four very important terms in his Epistle to the Philippians: grace, salvation, the Spirit, and Christ.

Rather, they are related to experience.”

In Exodus 30:23-30 we find the compound ointment—a wonderful picture of the supply of the Spirit. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the apostle’s words in Philippians and examines the picture in Exodus in detail, unveiling the spiritual significance of the elements in the compound ointment and their connection to the Spirit today.

    “According to the book of Philippians, there is a salvation which is constant in our practical life. To say that this salvation is constant means that it is a salvation we may experience every day, every hour, and every moment.” In this booklet taken from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee presents this salvation—not our eternal salvation from hell, which is objective, but a very subjective and experiential salvation that we can enjoy moment by moment.

    In Philippians 3:7-16 the apostle Paul uses at least three different Greek words to express the idea of gaining, indicating the Lord’s desire that we gain Him, obtain Him, and lay hold of Him. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee reveals that these expressions point to three stages of the securing of Christ. “In this booklet I am not burdened to cover either the initial gaining of Christ or the final laying hold of Him. My burden is related to the process of the continual obtaining of Christ, the process which takes place between the initial gaining of Christ and the final laying hold of Him.”

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee expounds the word out-resurrection in Philippians 3:11. “The term ‘out-resurrection’ is found in the Bible only in Philippians 3:11. The Greek prefix ek means ‘out.’ Here Paul adds this prefix to the usual Greek word for resurrection. What was his reason for doing this? According to his vision and experience, Paul realized that God’s intention in the universe is altogether related to something which is new, something in resurrection, but resurrection in a very particular sense, not resurrection in an ordinary sense.”

The apostle Paul speaks of the goal and the prize, but what is the goal and what is the prize? Many would answer that both the goal and the prize are Christ. Although such an answer may be regarded as correct, there is something very particular concerning these words that we can see in Philippians 3:10-14.
