The Christian church’s history is marked by great achievements but also errors, especially the mistaken belief that any one church is the sole possessor of truth. While salvation is only through Christ, no earthly church—made up of sinful people—can claim perfect truth or exclusivity. This error often leads to persecution and idolatry, where a church exalts itself or its leaders above Christ. True faith humbly acknowledges that God’s truth cannot be contained by any institution. Churches serve Christ by proclaiming His Word, not by claiming ultimate authority. The more humanistic and naturalistic men and institutions become, the more prone they are to idolatry—placing their own systems or states above God’s truth. Recognizing this helps churches avoid self-exaltation and focus on their servant role under Christ’s lordship.
