Apostolic
The term "Apostolic" in the Bible pertains to the teachings, authority, and traditions associated with the apostles, the early followers of Jesus Christ who were sent out to spread the Gospel. The word "apostle" itself comes from the Greek "apostolos," meaning "one who is sent." In the New Testament, the apostles played a foundational role in establishing the Christian Church and disseminating its teachings. Key figures such as Peter, Paul, and John are often referred to as apostles, with their writings forming a significant portion of the New Testament canon (e.g., Acts 2:42, Ephesians 2:20).The apostolic nature of the Church is emphasized in several passages, highlighting the continuity of teaching and governance from the apostles to subsequent generations. For instance, Acts 2:42 describes the early believers as devoting themselves to the apostles' teachings. Additionally, the concept of apostolic succession is vital within many Christian traditions, where the authority of the apostles is believed to be passed down through the bishops of the Church. This notion underscores the importance of maintaining doctrinal integrity and the transmission of apostolic teachings throughout history, as seen in 2 Timothy 2:2, where Paul instructs Timothy to entrust the teachings to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
