What is an Apostle?

An apostle is a messenger of God, sent to spread the gospel and to teach the faith. The word “apostle” comes from the Greek word apostolos, which means “one who is sent”. In the Bible, Jesus chose twelve apostles to be his closest followers and to spread his message. The twelve apostles were Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot.

The role of an apostle is to spread the gospel and to teach the faith. Apostles are seen as the foundation of the church, and their teachings are seen as authoritative. In the Bible, Jesus gave the apostles the authority to preach and teach in his name. He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

The apostles were also given the authority to perform miracles and to heal the sick. Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do” (John 14:12). The apostles were also given the authority to forgive sins. Jesus said, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld” (John 20:23).

The Legacy of the Apostles

The legacy of the apostles is seen in the church today. The teachings of the apostles are seen as authoritative and are still followed by many Christians. The apostles were also responsible for writing much of the New Testament, which is the foundation of the Christian faith.
