Why is the role of Christ as the Apostle important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christ, as the Apostle, is essential for Christians as He is the messenger of the covenant and secures our salvation.

In His role as Apostle, Christ is the messenger of our faith and the covenant of grace, sent by God to preach the gospel and fulfill the promises made to His people. The Apostle signifies His divine authority and mission to bring about redemption through His obedience and sacrificial death, as highlighted in Isaiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18. This role is crucial for Christians because it assures us that our faith is founded on a Savior who has been sent to accomplish our salvation. His perfect obedience in fulfilling the law contrasts with Moses, who was merely a servant, thereby confirming Christ's superior position in God's plan of redemption (Hebrews 3:5-6).
