What does the Bible say about the role of apostles?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that apostles performed signs and wonders to spread the gospel and were essential in the early church's growth.

In Acts 5:12-42, we see the apostles actively performing many signs and wonders, which demonstrated God's power and authority through them. Their role was not just to preach the gospel but also to affirm it through miraculous acts that drew attention and led to the conversion of many. This period marked a significant expansion of the early church, where multitudes of believers—both men and women—joined due to the apostles' faithful ministry. The apostolic witness was foundational to the establishment of the church and the spread of the gospel, underscoring their unique role in redemptive history.
