The Local Church

Knowing Christ Experientially

I grew up in a Christian family, and received salvation in a Catholic high school. I attended Mass and read the Bible with the apocrypha and the book of Mary. I felt that God was far too unapproachable. Our whole family migrated to the United States in 1975. Through the connection between my wife and the local church I started to live a normal Christian life. The love of the life of Christ expressed through the brothers and sisters greatly attracted me to Christ and caused me to appreciate the local church. The Lord is so dear and real to me through the brothers and sisters living in harmony, reading the Bible, praying, visiting one another, and giving mutual support. I enjoy His unsearchable riches (Ephesians 3:8) everyday, and have come to realize that His will is for me to express through His salvation for the building up of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:16).

I have greatly received the benefit through Watchman Nee and Witness Lee's rich supply in God's Word and I have come to realize more fully the will of God. Through the shining transcendence of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee's ministry, I have greatly benefited in their shepherding (John 21:16) of God's flock as His faithful servants. I also have become more convinced of my Christian beliefs:

1. The whole Bible is God's complete revelation for us to live out God and to express Him. 2. God is the one unique Triune God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit co-exist and co-inhere mutually. 3. The Son of God is God Himself who became flesh to be born by the virgin Mary to be the man Jesus, Immanuel (God with man), to be our Savior. 4. Jesus died on the cross for our sins to accomplish an all-inclusive death and obtained an eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12). 5. Jesus Christ resurrected after three days and became the life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45) to be our life, life-supply, and everything that we can daily experience being saved in God's life (Romans 5:10) to grow to maturity in His life to express Him and to build up the Body of Christ that God can have His complete expression.
