Life-Study of Genesis presents the book of Genesis in a completely new light. Strictly speaking, Genesis is neither a book of creation nor a book of biographies. It is a book of life.

Furthermore, this gospel shows that Christ is the bread of life; that he has the water of life; that he gives life to man; and that he even lives in man as life.

In this life-study, Witness Lee presents the Epistle to the Hebrews as God's speaking in Christ the son, who is now in the heavens as our minister and our high priest, ministering to us the heavenly life, grace, authority, and power and sustaining us to live a heavenly life on Earth. He is the Christ now, the Christ today, and the Christ on the throne in the heavens, who is our daily salvation and moment-by-moment supply.

Throughout the New Testament, the apostles draw on the book of Exodus as a book of types concerning the believers' corporate experience of God's salvation. Paul speaks of "our Passover, Christ" (1 Cor. 5:7). He says that Israel was "baptized...in the sea", that Israel ate the "same spiritual food", and that Israel "drank of a spiritual rock which followed them", which rock "was Christ" (1 Cor. 5:7; 10:2-4). The Lord Jesus similarly says that He is "the living bread which came down out of heaven", the fulfillment of the manna in the wilderness (John 6:51).

In the book Being Renewed Day by Day, Witness Lee speaks of the renewing process that we need to pass through in our Christian life for God’s purpose.

In order to consummate his renewing work in us and with us, God becomes our life and nature within and uses the environment in order to work His life and nature into us.

Gran parte de lo que se predica y enseña entre los cristianos hoy en día está relacionado con el ministerio terrenal del Señor Jesús, es decir, a la obra que Él realizó durante Su vida en la tierra. Sin embargo, así como la persona de Cristo tiene dos aspectos, también lo tiene Su ministerio.

El reino de los cielos es un ítem principal en la Biblia, y a fin de entenderlo, debemos prestar atención al Evangelio de Mateo. En los capítulos del 5 al 7 de Mateo, el Señor explicó el reino de los cielos.

Para muchos cristianos, la oración es simplemente una forma de hablarle a Dios o clamar a Él. Si bien esto no es incorrecto, también hay una manera más profunda de entender la oración.

Para los que desean servir al Señor a tiempo completo, Witness Lee ofrece una comunión práctica con respecto a ser útiles para la obra del recobro del Señor.

Ya sea que estemos predicando el evangelio, enseñando la verdad, ministrando vida, exhortando a los creyentes o edificando la iglesia, debemos hablar por el Señor

In Life-Study of 1 & 2 Samuel, Witness Lee opens up the central thought of these two books, which is that the fulfillment of God's economy needs man's cooperation in the principle of incarnation, as illustrated by the history of Samuel's mother, Hannah, of Samuel, and of David, in the positive sense, and by the history of Eli and of Saul, in the negative sense. Such a cooperation is related to the personal enjoyment of the good land, which typifies the all-inclusive and all-extensive Christ.

In Life-Study of James, Witness Lee emphasizes two key points related to the Epistle of James—first, that the believers must progress in practical Christian perfection, and second, that the believers must be careful not to cultivate such perfection without a clear vision concerning the law and grace of God in God's New Testament economy. In Life-Study of First Peter, he describes the Christian life under the government of God with its high demand.

In the book of Colossians, Christ is unveiled to a fuller extent than in any other book in the Bible. Christ is unveiled as the all-inclusive one, having the first place in all things as the mystery and embodiment of God, as the head and constituent of the church, as the allotted portion, life, constituent, and hope of the saints, and as the body of all positive things. In addition to presenting such a Christ as the one person in God's economy, Colossians also presents the cross of Christ as the one way in God's government.

The book of Galatians reveals that in God's economy, Christ replaces the law, and it is religion versus tradition. The churches in Galatia had begun well, receiving the Spirit through faith, but were now striving to be perfected by the flesh through the law (3:3). The Judaizers had bewitched the Galatians so that they considered the ordinances of the law above the Son of the living God.

In chapter two, Paul presents Christ as our pattern.
