An excerpt from Sit, Walk, Stand
by Watchman Nee
"Our deliverance from sin is based, not on what we can do, nor even on what God is going to do for us, but on what he has already done for us in Christ. When that fact dawns upon us and we rest back upon it (Rom. 6:11), then we have found the secret of a holy life.... The secret of deliverance from sin is not to do something but to rest on what God has done.

I find it fascinating that the man who spoke those words spent over twenty years in prison and died there. His example of living in chains and being able to say those words is a far better picture of resting in the Father than most of us could paint with our "blessed" lives.
