Overview

The Sixth Man: When Religion Replaces Union is the second volume in The Samaritan Well series, a Christ-centered exploration of covenant, union, and rest. This book confronts one of the most subtle and entrenched realities within the Church: religion without covenant. While idols may be exposed and renounced, religion often remains unchallenged because it speaks God's language, uses God's Scriptures, and operates in God's name-yet still prevents believers from entering true rest. Drawing deeply from John chapter 4, this volume focuses on the words of Jesus: ""The one you now have is not your husband."" Here, the Sixth Man is unveiled as proximity without union-life arranged around God rather than life shared with God. Through careful biblical exposition and Pauline revelation (Galatians, Romans, Hebrews, Colossians), this book shows how law, structure, zeal, performance, and ministry can all coexist with spiritual exhaustion when Christ is not fully received as indwelling life. It reveals why form can replace power, why zeal can resist rest, and why sincere believers often remain weary despite devotion. The Sixth Man is not written to condemn the Church, but to liberate her. It calls readers away from performance-based identity and into sonship, from religious striving into Sabbath rest, and from instruction-centered faith into union with Christ. This volume is written for pastors, leaders, teachers, and believers who love Scripture yet long for rest; who serve faithfully yet sense there must be more; and who are ready to lay down religious arrangements to receive Christ as Life Himself. As a bridge between The Mystery of the Five Husbands and the Seventh Man (Volume I) and The Seventh Man (Volume III), this book prepares the reader for the full unveiling of Christ not merely as Savior or Teacher, but as Rest, Bridegroom, and Indwelling Life.
