The Salvation Of The Soul

Watchman Nee's treatment of the salvation of the soul is a companion volume to another work, The Latent Power of the Soul. In it he deals with God's positive way with our soul, taming the inordinate power hidden deep within it.

The topic of the Judgment Seat of Christ is often neglected by today's church. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10). The salvation of the soul is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Church today. Most people think that the salvation of the spirit and the salvation of the soul are the same thing even though the Scriptures tell us something different. The salvation of a person's spirit is very simple. Acts 16:30-31 tells us: "30)'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' 31)...So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" The salvation of the spirit is based on the finished work of our Saviour Jesus Christ at Calvary - the spirit is saved simply by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. While the spirit is saved by faith in Christ, the soul is being saved based upon the faithfulness of the believer. The salvation of the soul is dependent on the life that we live after our spirit is saved. If we allow the Holy Spirit to control our life we can realize the salvation of our soul, which will ultimately be determined at the Judgment Seat of Christ. When Jesus returns, He will review all of our lives to determine whether we have been faithful and obedient doers of His Word.
