5 Marks of Healthy Christians {Acts 18:24–28}
You are surrounded by poor role models. So, Paul’s instruction is pertinent: “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us (Phil. 3:17). In Acts 18:24–28, Luke spotlights a worthy example named Apollos. Scripture is modest on Apollos’s personal details; his life was only meant to draw attention to Christ (1 Cor. 11:1). Apollos hailed from Egypt. In Ephesus and Corinth, he watered the seed Paul planted and became so prominent a preacher that he unintentionally developed a cultish following (1 Cor. 3:4–6). He apparently also served with Titus at Crete (Titus 3:13). Church history suggests that he finished his days as an elder in the Corinthian church.
What can Apollos teach us about a well-lived Christian life?
