How do we know ministers are sent by God?

Ministers are called by God, not simply by their own volition or ambition. This inward calling is accompanied by a conviction in their hearts that they are appointed to declare God's word. Additionally, the affirmation of the Church plays a crucial role, as the congregation bears witness to the fruits of the minister's Spirit-filled life and vocation. As noted in Romans 10:15, the importance of being sent is emphasized—the church recognizes this by both observing providential circumstances and the leading of the Holy Spirit in the individual’s life and ministry.
