Why is the authority of the apostles important for Christians today?

Answered in 1 source

The authority of the apostles validates the message of the gospel, establishing the foundation of the Church.

The authority given to the apostles is crucial for Christians as it provides a foundation for the Church and its teachings. Their empowered ministry was not just for their time; it established the foundational truths of the gospel that would endure throughout history. As they preached and performed miracles, their actions confirmed that they were sent by Christ, which assures believers today that the gospel they receive is rooted in divine authority. This apostolic authority has been preserved in the Scriptures we read, meaning that Christians can trust in the biblical teachings as the true revelation of God through Christ. This strengthens believers' faith and equips them for ministry in the world today.
