How do we know that God calls certain individuals to be deacons?

The calling of deacons is rooted in their ability to exemplify Christ-like qualities, as stated in 1 Timothy 3. This includes being faithful in their service and managing their households effectively. Paul emphasizes that deacons should be tested first to ensure they are blameless before taking on the responsibilities of this role. Ultimately, their calling is a recognition of how God has worked in their lives to shape these virtues, serving as an extension of His grace in the church community.
