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.
Life-study of the Bible is available to read online at ministrybooks.org, with or without a subscription. A subscription, however, allows you to search the text, add bookmarks, highlight meaningful passages, keep track of your reading, and listen to audiobooks of all the messages.
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.
In the first three chapters of Philippians, the apostle Paul refers to the inner reality of the experience of Christ, and in chapter 4 we find the expression of this reality. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee delves into Philippians 4:5-9 and considers the full expression of a life which lives Christ.
