The Secret of Christian Living Quotes

“The electric bulb cannot give light without electricity. Likewise, you cannot change yourself if today you are cut off from Christ. If there be any change or difference in you, it is not because you yourself have changed, for all is in Christ. Such is the way of God’s salvation.[2]”
― Watchman Nee, The Secret of Christian Living

“God’s way of salvation is in Christ, not in your own self. Patience is in Christ, humility is in Christ, holiness is in Christ. All is in Christ. In you, yourself, there is always uncleanness and unholiness. If you live in Christ, you have everything. But if you live in your self, you remain unchanged. UNITED”
― Watchman Nee, The Secret of Christian Living

“Todos los que están en Cristo llegan a ser nuevas criaturas muy pronto. Y esto no se logra por medio de mejoras graduales ni lentos avances. Todas las virtudes están en Cristo. Ellas no llegan a ser una realidad en la persona por medio del automejoramiento o el esfuerzo humano. Si estás en Cristo, ya posees todas estas virtudes.”
― Watchman Nee, El secreto de la vida cristiana

“As long as you are in Christ, what you are in yourself does not count. If only you are in the bottle, whatever happens to the bottle happens to you. This is the glad tidings. So we declare that the gospel is free grace. Basically, it does not depend on you. If you are in Christ, then all is yours. For all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places have been given to us in Christ Jesus. There is no way for God not to give all these spiritual blessings to us if we are in Christ. He himself has placed us in Christ; therefore, He cannot withhold any blessing from us. Nothing can be withheld.”
