What does the Bible say about the role of an apostle?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible describes an apostle as one sent directly by God to communicate the gospel, emphasizing divine authority over human appointment.

According to the Bible, particularly in Galatians 1:1, an apostle is defined as a messenger sent directly by Jesus Christ and God the Father to fulfill a specific role within the church. Paul asserts that his apostleship is not derived from human authority but directly from God, which underlines the seriousness and sanctity of this role. An apostle receives the gospel directly from Christ Himself, establishing the authority to preach it without human influence. This is crucial for understanding the integrity and foundation of gospel transmission throughout the church's history.
