What does the Bible say about the keys of the kingdom?

Answered in 1 source

The keys of the kingdom, given by Christ, represent authority and are entrusted to His apostles for declaring truth.

In Matthew 16, Jesus speaks to Peter about giving him the keys of the kingdom. This signifies authority given to Peter and later to the apostles to declare what is true and false, permissible and impermissible. The keys are not literal but denote the authority to proclaim the gospel and establish church doctrine. Importantly, the keys are given by Christ alone, and understanding their source is key to correctly interpreting their purpose and application in the church.
