Life Study of the Bible
Sundays at 3pm
Witness Lee opens up the life-giving petition detailed in 1 John 5:14-17. It is a common practice among believers to pray for those who are sick, and for practical and material needs, but do we pray to supply the weakened members with the divine life as instructed by John? We will see how eternal life swallows up death within ourselves and other members of His Body.
In 1 John 5:4 the apostle John specifies the location of the divine birth. We may consider – why does John change from “everyone” in 3:9 to “everything” in chapter 5? Witness Lee explains how the answer reveals the key to overcoming sin, the world and all negative things surrounding us in our daily living.

This week’s highlight is taken from Tuesday’s programme. There are four verses in the Bible which mention antichrist, and they are all found in John’s epistles. We may automatically relate this word to someone who is against Christ, but Witness Lee opens up the broader meaning of this term, as well as the principle of antichrist that is implied here.

1 John 4:7-15 places a strong emphasis on our need to love one another, as a visible virtue of the divine birth. Join us for a wonderful Life-study concerning our love for others which must be the love that is out of God, even the very God of love who is infused into us to manifest God in our living.
What is the significance of denying that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (1 John 4:1-6)? On today’s programme, Witness Lee explains the great implications of such an action. These relate not only to denying His redemptive death and resurrection, but also impacts on our experience and apprehension of the Triune God.

Did you know that a human being can be compared to a transistor radio? Today, we consider the central revelation of the entire divine revelation of the Bible concerning the dispensing of the Triune God. Witness Lee also highlights the crucial matter of the human spirit. When properly “tuned” this enables us to experience and enjoy the Triune God as love and light.

Why did John insert a particular section on proving the spirits in 1 John 4:1-6? Witness Lee connects this warning to verse 24 in chapter 3 where the Spirit is mentioned for the first time. We will see what the different spirits are mentioned by John, and why we need to have the discernment in accepting people who are of a different spirit that bring in false and heretical teachings.
This week’s highlight is taken from Tuesday’s programme. Witness Lee opens up concerning the virtues of the divine birth (1 John 2:29-3:10), from the third section of John’s first epistle. How can human beings abide in the Triune God? The key to abiding, and the anointing of the rich attributes of Christ into our inner being to express His virtues are explored in this enlightening programme.

In today’s Life-study of 1 John programme, Witness Lee opens up the matter of knowing God in our heart (1 John 3:19-21). We will see how the heart is linked to our conscience and regenerated spirit, causing us to know God not in an objective way but in a most subjective, personal way whereby we can experience God in all the small things in our daily life.

Today’s programme focuses on how loving the brothers is related to the eternal life and nature of God whereas having hate towards another person, is related to death which comes out of having the life and nature of Satan, the devil in 1 John 3:10-15b.
As children of God begotten of Him and possessing His divine life and nature we have a wonderful future and a more splendid blessing! Today, Witness Lee explains how we can habitually live in a righteous way as the spontaneous expression of the indwelling life we have received, from 1 John 2:29-3:10.
Who is Christ and who is the antichrist? On today’s programme we will see how Christ as the anointed One became the anointing One, and how those who deny that Jesus is the Christ deny the anointing of the Spirit, and are called antichrists (1 John 2:18-19, 23).

Today’s Life-study continues the inoculating theme from the previous programme, with its focus to confirm and reaffirm the distinction between the Father, Son and Spirit in the Godhead (1 John 2:24-27). Such a balanced, careful approach that adheres to the pure Word and recognises the limitations of human language in attempts to define the trinity is greatly needed today. (1 John 2:24-27).
