What does it mean for a pastor to be blameless?

In Titus 1:6-7, Paul emphasizes that an elder must be blameless, meaning that he should not have a reputation for being immoral or dishonest. This does not imply that he is without sin, as all fall short of God's glory, but rather that he maintains a lifestyle that does not give cause for accusation. A blameless pastor is deeply aware of his own sin and relies on Christ's righteousness, showcasing a life that reflects the transformative power of the gospel. His integrity in both personal and public life serves as a witness to the grace of God.
