Bible is The True Word Of God
Today I met up with an ex-colleague for tea. Our conversation drifted toward the differences we see among denominations—differences in administration, differences in operations, and differences in practice.
As we talked, I realized how often these differences create pain among believers. Sometimes, we even end up being hurt by our own brothers and sisters in Christ. Yet the truth remains: we are not God—we are only human. At the end of it all, every one of us will stand accountable before Him.
God is the truth. His Word is the truth. No denomination, administration, or human structure can rise above that.
When I came home, I opened my Bible for my devotions, and the scripture reminded me once again that His Word is the ultimate authority. It is in Him that unity is found—not in our divisions.
Mark 9:38–41
In this passage, the disciples saw people casting out demons in the name of Jesus. They struggled to accept it because these people were not part of their group and were not walking with them as disciples. But Jesus gently explained the truth: anyone who is truly working in His name will not speak against Him. Those who stand for Jesus, even if they are not part of the “inner circle,” still belong to Him.
This reminds me of what we see in the world today. There are so many different denominations, each holding on to their own practices and revelations. Sometimes one group looks at another and thinks they are more right, or somehow better, because of a certain understanding they have. But the reality is that all true believers are following the same Lord—Jesus Christ (if they truly obey the Word of God, the Bible)
My conclusion is this: the Bible is the truth, the living Word of God. As long as a denomination is genuinely following the Word and lifting up the name of Jesus, they are for Him. No one is greater or lesser; all are part of the same body of Christ.
