How do we know the apostles were chosen by Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The apostles were specifically chosen by Jesus as seen in Luke 6:12-13, where He prayed all night before selecting them.

The choosing of the apostles by Jesus is a significant event highlighted in Scripture. As noted in Luke 6:12-13, Jesus prayed all night before designating the twelve apostles, indicating the gravity of this selection process. They were not chosen based on their qualifications or worldly status, but rather to demonstrate God's grace as He often chooses the weak and undeserving to fulfill His divine purposes. This act ensures that all glory is directed to God and reflects His sovereign choice. Furthermore, the apostles were given specific authority and power to preach the gospel and perform miracles, affirming their unique role in the establishment of the church.
