Step-by-step explanation:

Viceroy in the Christian world means God's servant or God's minister. Viceroy in Christianity refers to people who God has made for special leadership, they lead the world justly and uprightly after God’s own character, treating others with love and respect, dwelling with God and obeying his commands. God's viceroy must have nothing inherently lacking or flawed in them for they must be holy.

Legate in the Christian world, the word legate is popularly use in The Roman Catholic church. A legate is a personal representative of the pope to foreign nations, or to some part of the Catholic Church. A good example of A legate is

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, papal legate to England during the reign of Henry VIII. Unlike Viceroy, legate are appointed by pope. Legates take charge of major religious post

Both Viceroy and legate work for God Although some people might think that Legate work for the pope since it is the pope that give assignment to a Legate but a Legate is also minister of God in the church.
