The Bible is regarded as a holy book by Christians. For several thousand years, many Christians believe that belief in the Lord must be based on the Bible, and that departing from the Bible means not believing in the Lord. Is this view in line with God’s will? Does the Bible contain life? Is all of God’s work recorded in the Bible? If all of God’s word and work were recorded in the Bible, we would receive life by believing in the Bible, then why did the Lord Jesus say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me” (Jhn 14:6)? Hope the verses about the inside story of the Bible selected below will help you understand the relationship between the Bible and God’s work.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

The Lord Jesus said, “Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them” (Mat 18:19-20). In our lives, we all have such experience: If one does work by himself, though he has worked hard, he still cannot achieve perfect and there is deviation in his work. However, when we are of one heart and rely on God together, we can gain the Holy Spirit’s guidance easily. Our minds will be broadened and we can make up for each other’s shortcomings. Thus, the results of the work are much better than that done by one. Also, we can learn to put aside ourselves and modestly listen to other’s good opinions and not be arrogant or self-righteous, which is beneficial for our entry into life. These are the benefits brought by serving in coordination. The Bible verses about Cooperation selected below will help us know how to serve in coordination and be of one mind.
