The Christian life is based on the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and transformation through the loving discipline of the Spirit. In this book, Watchman Nee draws on the experiences of the Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response in faith to God’s promises to our ultimate transformation into sons conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have inherited God’s promise; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for our growth and transformation.
