Apostle –

The book of Acts stipulates three qualifications for the office of apostle: Acts 1:21-22
He had to be a personal DISCIPLE of Jesus during His earthly ministry.
He had to be an EYE-witness of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
He had to be CALLED by Jesus Himself personally.

The Conformity to God - by the will of God.

The Companionship for God - and Timothy our brother.

My own son in the faith – an endeared child.

The Recipients - Colosse

Their Call - To the saints

Their Conformation - Faithful Brethren

The Contrast - Unfaithful.

  • Christ plus KNOWLEDGE equals salvation

Peace to know the no matter what we have a relationship with a Father that loves us and will care for us if we seek Him.
