Answered in 1 source

The apostles established the foundation of the Church and the teachings of Christ, making their role essential for all Christians.

The role of the apostles is crucial for Christians today as they were the first preachers of the gospel and foundational figures in the establishment of the Church. Their teachings and writings, inspired by the Holy Spirit, form the basis of Christian doctrine and the New Testament. Since the apostles had direct experience with Christ, their insights provide incomparable authority regarding the faith. Moreover, understanding their ministry helps Christians grasp the continuity of God's work through history and ensures fidelity to the gospel. Their examples of faith, perseverance, and commitment serve as models for all Christian ministries today, reminding believers of the call to preach Christ crucified.
