How do we know if someone is a true servant of God?

Answered in 2 sources

A true servant of God preaches the simplicity and sufficiency of Christ without adding human efforts or morality to the gospel.

Paul provides a fundamental test for discerning true servants of God in 2 Corinthians 11. He states that a true minister will preach Christ alone as the mediator and source of righteousness. This means that they will declare that salvation is achieved solely through faith in Christ, not by works, law, or any other means. The testimony of Scripture supports this principle, emphasizing that everything God offers to sinners is contained in Christ. When evaluating a preacher, one must consider their message: do they uphold Christ as the sole means of salvation, or do they include additional conditions? True servants, unlike false ones, will experience and demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit accompanying their ministry.
