There are literally thousands of denominations; how can we identify the true Church?

The true Church is where the presence of Christ dwells. Jesus said: “...where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Thus the next question is: Which Christ? The real Christ is He who identified Himself through the prophets. Isaiah wrote, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth” (Isaiah 53:7). That's the real Jesus! The Lamb of God who was brought to the slaughter, who did not open His mouth in protest. When we follow Him, we find ourselves on the narrow path that leads to eternal glory
