Watchman Nee

"The first result of redemption is separation, that is, departure, a going out. God never redeems a person and leaves him in the old position to continue living in the world."

"God's commandment is that those who serve Him must separate themselves from the world."

"Just to confess the Lord with our mouth and say, "I have believed in the Lord today," is not enough for a testimony. We must come out from the world and be separated."

"Since the Lord suffered humiliation on the earth, we should not seek glory here."
