How do we know God calls pastors after His own heart?

Answered in 1 source

God promises in Jeremiah 3:15 to give pastors after His own heart, who will feed His people with knowledge and understanding.

In Jeremiah 3:15, God assures His people that He will provide pastors according to His own heart. This promise signifies that true pastors must exhibit a heart that prioritizes the well-being of the flock, aligning with God's will and purpose. Such pastors are expected to feed the congregation with gospel knowledge and understanding of the truth of Scripture. The mark of a God-appointed pastor is their ability to apply God’s word to the lives of the people, offering corrections and encouragement as they guide the church through life. Their ministry reflects God’s heart for His people, which is rooted in grace and truth.
