The four-dimensional Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation satisfied by quark-antiquark bound states is derived from Quantum Chromodynamics. Different from the Bethe-Salpeter equation, the equation derived is a kind of first-order differential equations of Schr\"odinger-type in the position space. Especially, the interaction kernel in the equation is given by two different closed expressions. One expression which contains only a few types of Green's functions is derived with the aid of the equations of motion satisfied by some kinds of Green's functions. Another expression which is represented in terms of the quark, antiquark and gluon propagators and some kinds of proper vertices is derived by means of the technique of irreducible decomposition of Green's functions. The kernel derived not only can easily be calculated by the perturbation method, but also provides a suitable basis for nonperturbative investigations. Furthermore, it is shown that the four-dimensinal Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation and its kernel can directly be reduced to rigorous three-dimensional forms in the equal-time Lorentz frame and the Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced to an equivalent Pauli-Schr\"odinger equation which is represented in the Pauli spinor space. To show the applicability of the closed expressions derived and to demonstrate the equivalence between the two different expressions of the kernel, the t-channel and s-channel one gluon exchange kernels are chosen as an example to show how they are derived from the closed expressions. In addition, the connection of the Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation with the Bethe-Salpeter equation is discussed.
