A ministry is considered safe when it keeps preaching the same sound doctrine and leads believers to rejoice in the Lord.
A safe ministry is defined by its adherence to Biblical teaching and its desire to encourage believers to rejoice in the Lord. Paul exemplifies this by demonstrating a consistent message rooted in Christ, which he references repeatedly throughout his letters. Moreover, the ministry must have a clear purpose and a goal in view, which is ultimately to know Christ fully and live in light of His Gospel. This focus provides both safety and assurance to the congregation that they are being guided in the right direction, avoiding the pitfalls of false teachings.
