FOUNDATION – APOSTLES

March 11-Start Your Day Right Devotion

Ephesians 2:20 Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

​FOUNDATION – APOSTLES

A church can only be a true church if it is founded on the Christ-inspired, infallible (perfectly reliable, certain not to fail) revelation to the first apostles.

1. The New Testament apostles (“sent ones”) were those who received a direct commission from Christ to deliver His original message and to lead the effort in establishing His New Testament church (Acts 14:4). God used some of these men to write part of Scripture (God’s written Word). The apostles were the foundation stones of the church, and their message is preserved in the writings of the New Testament as the original, foundational testimony of the authentic and true message of Christ – a message that is valid for all people of all times.
2. All believers and churches are dependent on the words, message and faith of the first apostles as recorded in the book of Acts and in the apostles’ God-inspired New Testament writings. All generations of the church have the responsibility of obeying this God-given revelation and the privilege of testifying to its truth. The gospel – the “god news” and true message of Christ – given to the New Testament apostles through the Holy Spirit in the enduring source of life, truth and direction for the church.
3. All true believers and true churches show their genuine position withing Christ’s body as they do the following:                                         (a) They must agree with and earnestly strive to follow the New Testament teaching and revelation concerning Christ and His message (Acts 2:42). To reject the New Testament apostles’ teachings is to reject the Lord Himself (John 16:13; John 16:14-15; 1 Corinthians 14:36-38; Galatians 1:9-11).                                                                                    (b) They must continue the apostolic mission (being sent out with Christ’s message and authority to pioneer ministries throughout the world) by communicating the original New Testament message of Christ through faithful speaking, preaching and teaching in the power of the Spirit (Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy 1:8-14; Titus 1:7-9).                      (c) They must not only believe the original apostolic message of the New Testament, but also defend and guard it against all false representation and changes. The apostles’ original revelation from Christ as found in the New Testament can never be replaced or nullified (canceled, voided) b later revelation, testimony or prophecy (Acts 20:27-31; 1 Timothy 6:20).
