Bible Question: Dear Doc accoring to Ephesians 4 and 11 also 1 Corithians 12 and 28 do you think God still calls men as Apostles not so much in the general since but in the broader since. More along the lines of starting different minsitries at home or abroad, not some much in exercising the that the original apostles did but more along the lines of establishing things. |
Bible Answer: devon, Greetings an God's best to you this day.In the strictest sence of biblical definition there in literal sence no Apostles in this present day. 2 Corinthians 5:20 does say that we are ambassadors for Christ. The verses you have refered to here are also good references to Gods calling peoples lives. Matt 28:18-20 we are all evangelists in the literal sense. Titus,and 1Timothy 3 provide good reference for those who feel God calling them into full time survice. But in a sense though we are all full time servants. God has given all of gifts,talents and resources by which we may serve and glorify God. We just need that we walk daily with a humble heart allowing God to lead us so that we may utilise those gifts and talents that God blesses us with. In Christ, lionheart |
