The Best Tools
We have the Recovery Version…with notes that open up the text and many helpful cross-references. We also have the Life-study Messages to help us. We are like carpenters who have the best tools to do the best carpentry to be “an unashamed workman, cutting straight the word of the truth.” (Elders’ Training Book 9)
Moving By His Word
In His recovery the Lord is moving by His word, by the truth. His word is in the Bible, but the Bible needs the proper interpretation, which is found in the life-studies. (Life-Study of Ezra, Message 5)
Filled with Nourishment
I hope all the young people would devour the Life-studies. If I had found such materials on the Bible when I was young, I would have stayed up late at night, swallowing up what was in them! …The Life-studies…are filled with nourishment on almost every line. (The World Situation and God’s Move, Chapter 4)
The Genuine Life Supply
All those who carefully study the life-studies will surely gain a certain amount of experience. The life-studies bring us into the biblical truths, from which we may receive the genuine life supply. (Truth, Life, the Church, and the Gospel—The Four Great Pillars in the Lord’s Recovery, Chapter 6)
The Precious Inheritance
This [the Life-study] is the precious inheritance that the Lord has given to His recovery. We should enter into all the truths of the Bible by means of the life-study messages. (Truth, Life, the Church, and the Gospel—The Four Great Pillars in the Lord’s Recovery, Chapter 1)
Inwardly and Outwardly
“We should have a burden to promote the life-studies continent by continent until every household has the life-studies, and every saint has the life-studies both inwardly and outwardly.” (Truth, Life, the Church, and the Gospel—The Four Great Pillars in the Lord’s Recovery, Chapter 9, Section 5)
Full of Diamonds
“We have to encourage the churches in every place to study the life-studies carefully, because the life-studies are full of diamonds.” (Truth, Life, the Church, and the Gospel—The Four Great Pillars in the Lord’s Recovery, Chapter 8, Section 3)
A Gold Mine
“All the messages in our Life-studies touch the central line. If we have a heart to mine these messages, we will discover that there is a gold mine in them…I earnestly hope that we all can diligently enter into the riches in the Life-studies.” (Crucial Words of Leading in the Lord’s Recovery, Book 5, Chapter 16)
This Inexhaustible Treasure
“The brothers and sisters who are willing to read all the Life-study messages and to study every word of the Recovery Version of the New Testament will have a solid foundation. This inexhaustible treasure will be within them for their whole life.” (Guidelines for the Propagation of the Lord’s Recovery, Chapter 2, Section 4)
