If a Christian feels that he can rely just on his own relationship with God, he is turning away from a God - ordained arrangement ​ — that of both the worldwide congregation and the local congregations of God’s people.
صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَسِيحِيٍّ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُنَمِّيَ عَلَاقَةً شَخْصِيَّةً بِٱللهِ ،‏ وَلكِنْ لَا يَسَعُنَا أَنْ نُنْكِرَ أَنَّ يَهْوَه يَسْتَخْدِمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَمَاعَةً عَالَمِيَّةً كَتِلْكَ ٱلَّتِي ٱسْتَخْدَمَهَا أَيَّامَ ٱلرُّسُلِ .‏
