Life Study of the Bible

Rom. 9:16 says “...it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy”. On today’s programme, we explore God’s election and predestination in eternity past and His calling in time, to be brought into a deeper appreciation of the mercy and love of God.

In our second programme on this topic, we will see how God according to his righteousness was able to cover the sins of His people in the Old Testament and forgive the sins of His New Testament believers (Rom. 3:21-26). God’s righteous requirements have been fulfilled through Christ’s redemptive death. His righteousness is the foundation for us to approach God to be forgiven of our sins, and the source of our eternal security.

Christ as the eternal Son of God in the Godhead was designated (marked out), as the first-born son of God in His resurrection, paving the way for His many sons to follow Him in this designation (Rom. 1:3-4, 8:29). This mysterious and very practical aspect of the gospel of God in Romans is our focus on this week’s highlight programme.

Join us for the first of two classic programmes on God’s righteousness as the power and foundation of our salvation (Rom. 1:16-17). Witness Lee contrasts the natural, religious concept versus the divine concept regarding the power of the gospel, and how realizing this truth provides great assurance and security to our daily Christian life.

Listen to the final program concerning the process of designation to produce the many sons of God (Rom. 1:3-4, 8:29). Today we focus on the practical and experiential application of designation. We need to realize that the Spirit has been installed in and is joined to our spirit (Rom. 1:9, 8:16), and we need to exercise our spirit to enjoy all the riches of Christ.

God’s goal is not merely to have forgiven sinners but to have sons of God for His corporate expression. But, how can sinners in the flesh be transformed into sons of God in the spirit? Join us as Witness explains how the riches of God’s salvation can be applied and realized through the economy of the Triune God (Rom. 1:3-4, 8:9-11).

Christ as the eternal Son of God in the Godhead was designated (marked out), as the first-born son of God in His resurrection, paving the way for His many sons to follow Him in this designation (Rom. 1:3-4, 8:29).

While Romans is often considered a book focusing on justification by faith, we will see that at its core it unveils God’s central work of sonship – to make sons out of sinners (Rom. 8:29). Join us as we explore the connection between sonship and God’s desire for expression, and our need to be designated as fully-fledged sons of God by the process of resurrection.

Witness Lee opens up how the full gospel is far richer and more profound then we may have previously thought. The gospel presented in Romans is focused on the wonderful person of Jesus Christ with His two natures (Rom. 1:3-4, 9). God’s heart’s desire is to conform us to His image that He might be the first-born Son among many brothers (8:29). Finally, we will see what it means for the righteousness of God to be the power of the gospel.

In today’s programme, Witness Lee shows how Satan, sin and death have a central meeting point in our fallen flesh. God’s approach to dealing with our flesh may surprise us; we will see how His great wisdom and sovereignty are unveiled in utilizing the flesh to fulfil His eternal purpose.

Sin, death and Satan are three big enemies to our Christian life. However, of these, Satan as the source of sin and death is surely the most formidable adversary. Witness Lee explains how spiritual warfare is a Body matter (Rom. 16:20), and the importance of living in our reborn human spirit where we are protected from the evil one (1 John 5:18).

Death is a very real and powerful adversary against mankind. Yet apart from the physical aspect, the Bible shows us that death is operating in us every day. What is the connection between sin and death? And how can we overcome the present working of death within us? That’s the topic of today’s Life-study of the Bible with Witness Lee.

According to Rom. 5:17, “much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life” (Holy Bible, Recovery Version, 2003). In this enlightening Life-study programme we explore the meaning of reigning in life, the origin of sin, and the contrast between sin and grace in our practical experience

The resurrection life of Christ saves us from a number of negative items in our daily life. On this week’s highlight programme, Witness Lee shows our need to be saved from self-likeness by being transformed and conformed into the glorious image of Christ (Rom. 8:28-30). Negatively, what is the relationship between the self and Satan? Positively, how can we be transformed? Join us to find out.

We’ve been discovering what it means to be saved in life (Rom. 5:10), but today we go further. The resurrection life of Christ ultimately enables us to reign in life by grace over Satan, sin and death (5:17). Witness Lee highlights the practical need for us to be an open vessel to receive the abundance of grace that we might reign.
