The words God-man and God-men have been used in the ministry publications to refer to the Lord Jesus and to the believers.
Brother Watchman Nee first used the term God-man in 1922 in his “Meditations on Revelation.” He pointed out that “Christ is the God-man exalted by God” and “the One ‘who became dead and lived again.’…He is the God-man who had experienced the greatest suffering on the whole earth and had Himself passed through death” (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee (CWWN), vol. 4, pp. 200, 325-326). The only other published book in which Watchman Nee uses the term God-man is How to Study the Bible under the heading “God and His Relationship with Man”: “We have the God-man, which we see in the Gospels; the Lord Jesus is the God-man” (CWWN, vol. 54, p. 111).

Let us consider the history of these marvelous little booklets.

The saints in the Lord’s recovery have a marvelous opportunity to rise up and spread God’s interpreted Word to hungry seekers throughout North America.

Christ gave Himself up for the church so that “He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word” (Eph. 5:26).
