TBR EP27-The Eternal Purpose

The content is from Chapter 6 of The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee.

TBR EP26-The Path of Progress: Presenting Ourselves to God

“When we give up the case, then God will take it up. He is waiting until we are at an end of our resources and can do nothing more for ourselves. God has condemned all that is of the old creation and consigned it to the Cross. ” (The Normal Christian Life, p. 169)

TBR EP29-The Meaning and Value of Romans Seven

" He (God) has given only one gift to meet all our need: His Son Christ Jesus. As I look to Him to live out His life in me, He will be humble and patient and loving and everything else I need -- in my stead." -- The Normal Christian Life, p.185

TBR EP30-The Path of Progress: Walking in the Spirit

“ Alone I cannot serve the Lord effectively, and he will spare no pains to teach me this. He will bring things to an end, allowing doors to close and leaving me ineffectively … until I realize that I need the help of the Body as well as of the Lord. For the life of Christ is the life of the Body, and his gifts are given to us for work that builds up the Body.” - The Normal Chrisitan Life, p.222, Watchman Nee

TBR EP31-One Body in Christ

“The service of the Lord is not to be measured by tangible results…. The Lord’s first concern is with our position at his feet and our anointing of his head. Whatever we have as an ‘alabaster box’: the most precious thing, the thing dearest in the world to us—yes, let me say it, the outflow from us of a life that is produced by the very Cross itself — we give that all up to the Lord.” — The Normal Christian Life, pp.282-283

TBR EP34-The Goal of the Gospel

"What is faith? ... A great failure among Christians is that they cannot believe. Believing is substantiating the facts. Once we see something, we substantiate it. Once we believe, we substantiate the facts, and we have it." (The Overcoming Life, p. 118, Watchman Nee)

TBR EP41-Believing

"God wants to test our faith in order to make sure that our faith is indeed faith. All genuine faith is long-lived. All short-lived faith is not faith at all. Genuine faith is always long-lived. It will believe after three days, a month, a year, ten years, or even fifty years. Genuine faith can withstand one obstacle, five obstacles, or ten obstacles. Genuine faith will believe after it is tested once, five times, or seven times. " (The Overcoming Life, p.130)

TBR EP42-The Proving of Faith

"Brothers and sisters, we have to know the relationship that truth and grace have with us. I hope that we would all say to God daily, “Lord, I cannot make it, and I do not intend to make it. Lord, I thank and praise You that I cannot make it.” Every day we have to pray to God to give us light and grace. We may fail accidentally, but we can be recovered within a second. If we do this day by day, our growth will be beyond anyone’s expectation because it will be the work of Christ alone." -- The Overcoming Life, p. 155, Watchman Nee
