People do not like to think of judgment, but “the Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth” (Ps. 9.16 AV). The psalmist “sing[s] of mercy and judgment” (Ps. 101.1 AV). He asks the Lord to teach him of His judgment (Ps. 119.108 AV), and to quicken him according to His judgment (Ps. 119.149 AV). He considers those blessed who keep judgment and do righteousness at all times (Ps. 106.3 AV)., May we therefore be corrected in our mental concept and enter into the spirit of judgment so that God may be justified and we may be perfected. The present volume is composed of three parts. The first comprises notes of the messages on the Spirit of Judgment which Watchman Nee delivered in February, 1942 at a seven-day conference in Shanghai, China. Their full text has never been published and is now lost. However, these notes—taken by Dr. C. H. Yu—have been miraculously preserved and are now being translated and published into English. The second part offers three of the now well-known 52 basic lessons for believers which the author gave during a series of training sessions for workers held at Mount Kuling, near Foochow, China, in 1948∗ These three lessons (on the Kingdom, the Lord’s Second Coming, and Occupation) had not been translated and published into English earlier because of their potentially controversial nature due to wide differences of opinion held among believers concerning these three subjects. Yet we feel these views should now be presented to all who love the truth of God. Their inclusion here is not aimed at forcing upon but rather at stirring up believers to at least consider them seriously before the Lord. The third part of the volume gathers together a number of messages given by the author at different times and places during his fruitful ministry and which have not been translated and published in English heretofore. They cover a wide range of subjects—from the righteousness of God to the helpmeet of Christ, yet they all unite in presenting the fullness of the salvation of our God. May God use this book to bring all who read it into a deeper knowledge of, and more consistent walk with, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Acerca del autor
Watchman Nee was born in 1903 in Swatow, China as an answer to his mother's prayer. Having already borne two daughters, she prayed that if God should give her a son, she would give him back to God. As the boy grew up, he showed every sign of promise except he had no interest in things spiritual. It was not till he was seventeen years of age that he was met by the Lord. He knew at that time that he must accept Christ Jesus as his Savior, yet he struggled over the necessity of surrendering his life to the Lord. The love of Christ finally overwhelmed him and he capitulated to Christ. This was on April 29, 1920. He had such a love for the Word of God that he studied it almost incessantly, so within a very short period he had read the whole Bible several times. He began to witness for Christ to his school mates and soon earned the nickname of "the preacher". In searching the Scripture, he (with a few other believers) discovered 'the simplicity and purity that is towards Christ.' He determined to follow the Word of God explicitly and nothing but the Word. In 1927 he began his life work in Shanghai, where he was able to practice the vision which the Lord had shown him in the Word. He understood that the eternal purpose of God is Christ and His Church. Through the mighty working of the Holy Spirit and the faithful ministry of this servant of God, this testimony spread over the vast land of China. In 1949 the Communists took over China. Knowing what would be waiting for him back home, he nonetheless felt strongly his responsibility toward God and His Church. So he returned to China from Hong Kong in 1950. In April of 1952 he was seized and put in prison. He was later falsely accused as a master spy and was sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment. In prison he was not allowed to do anything but what was assigned him by prison authority. At the expiration of his sentence term, he was not released, and the news arrived quickly that he died faithful to the Lord.
