How do we know Christian elders are supposed to be examples?

Answered in 1 source

Christian elders are to be examples based on 1 Peter 5:3, where they are called to be models for others to imitate.

The role of elders as examples is explicitly mentioned in 1 Peter 5:3, where Peter urges them to be in samples to the flock. This means that elders should live in such a way that their lives reflect Christ, offering a model that others can follow. It emphasizes the call to embody the teachings of Scripture through actions that are consistent with the love, grace, and truth of the gospel, thereby encouraging the congregation to grow in their faith.
