The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.

More quotes by Watchman Nee
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
Were our spirits hardy we would be able to meet the most disturbing situation with peace and rest.
Watchman Nee
We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.
Watchman Nee
A characteristic of the flesh is its fickleness: it alternates between Yes and No and vice versa. But the will of God is: Walk not according to the flesh (not even for a moment) but according to the Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Fellowship means among other things that we are ready to receive of Christ from others. Other believers minister Christ to me, and I am ready to receive.
Watchman Nee
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
We think of the Christian life as a ‘changed life’ but it is not that. What God offers us is an ‘exchanged life,’ a ‘substituted life,’ and Christ is our Substitute within.
Watchman Nee
Knowing the truth concerning the deep workings of the evil spirit helps the individual not only to overcome sins but to eliminate unnecessary afflictions as well.
Watchman Nee
You should accordingly exercise your mind to remember your friends, relatives, and fellow-workers to determine if they are in need. As you remember each one so shall you in turn intercede for them. If in interceding on their behalf your spirit remains cold and dry, then you know you are not to pray for them.
Watchman Nee
If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.
Watchman Nee
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
Watchman Nee
It is not only the proclamation of the whole truth that is needed today it is the release of the spiritual reality which the truth expresses, and that can only be realized as we allow ourselves to be caught into the mighty on-flowing tide of the Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Outside Christ, I am empty in Christ, I am full.
Watchman Nee
If you perform your part, God will fulfill His. And once you put off specifically, you should just as thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind, despite the fact you know not how.
Watchman Nee
An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust. Samson is not alone in the history of man in failing in this regard. Delilah is still cutting the hair of man today!
Watchman Nee
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Watchman Nee
The 'flesh' is too bad to be cleansed it must be crucified.
Watchman Nee
The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built.
Watchman Nee
A spiritual Christian therefore is one whose spirit is led by God's Spirit... Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage.
