The Spirit and the Church

by Witness Lee

Overview

The entire New Testament, from the first chapter to the last, reveals the Spirit and the church. Although we may be familiar with the fact that the New Testament unveils Christ and the church, we also need to see that the New Testament presents the vision of the Spirit and the church. The church is absolutely a matter of the Spirit. It was born of the Spirit and brought forth by the Spirit, and it exists with the Spirit. Moreover, the church is built up by the believers' growth in life through the increase of Christ as the Spirit in them. The church is not built up by any human organization, doctrinal teachings, or miraculous gifts. Instead, the church is built up by the ministry of the Spirit, in which we mutually minister life in our spirit to one another for our growth in life. Thus, the church is absolutely a matter of the Holy Spirit in our human spirit.

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.
