  4. Affects your viewof Sanctification. Nee’s“Ascetecism” The corruption of sin extends to every part of man’s nature, including all the faculties of his being. Application:Make roomfor Tensions &growth. ASK: So does that mean Man is TOTALLY WITHOUT WORTH? There is nothing in man that can commend him to a righteous God

  5. Nee, on Sin: We are all sinners by nature. If God asks nothing of us, all seems to go well, but as soon as he demands something of us, the occasion is provided for a grand display of our sinfulness. The Law makes our weakness manifest. While you let me sit still I appear to be all right, but when you ask me to do anything I am sure to spoil it, and if you trust me with a second thing I will as surely spoil that also. When a holy law is applied to a sinful, man, then it is that his sinfulness comes out in full display. God knows who I am: he knows that from head to foot I am full of sin; he knows that I am weakness incarnate; that I can do nothing. The trouble is that I do not know it. I admit that all men are sinners, and that therefore I am a sinner; but I imagine that I am not such a hopeless sinner as some. God must bring us all to the place where we see that we are utterly weak and helpless. While we say so, we do not wholly believe it, and God has to do something to convince us of the fact." Therefore, if we want to be deeply fruitful, we're going to need to develop an appreciation for just how deeply sinful we really are. This can be a very sobering week of study Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, 1986), pp. 157,158
