How do we know that the office of pastor is biblical?

The office of pastor is grounded in Scripture, as seen in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, where the Apostle Paul provides a list of qualifications for bishops, which are understood as pastors. These passages make it clear that the role is distinct and carries specific responsibilities, including being able to teach and manage their own household well. Furthermore, the presence of these qualifications emphasizes the divine order within the church, ensuring that those in leadership embody the character and calling that God requires.
