Apostles build the church:
- Ephesians 4:12-16 shows us that the apostles have the responsibility to perfect the saints, which is to say to bring them into completeness, to fully equip them. They equip them with doctrine and revelation of the Scripture, with the gifts of the Spirit, with government, with local elders and deacons, with the orders and the pattern of the church that God is building, with the foundation on which to build and with many other things.1 Corinthians 3:10-11 shows that an apostle must be able to lay the foundation.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
