What does the Bible say about being a steward of God's word?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that pastors and elders act as stewards of God's word, tasked with teaching sound doctrine and overseeing the church's spiritual well-being.

In Titus 1:7, Paul highlights the crucial role of being a steward, particularly for pastors and elders within the church. A steward is essentially one who has been entrusted with the care and management of something that belongs to another, in this case, God's word. Paul emphasizes that a pastor's primary objective is to accurately teach the truths of Scripture, facilitating both sound doctrine and right living among God’s people. This stewardship extends to managing not only God's word but also His purposes, promises, and the overarching plan for salvation through Jesus Christ. The responsibility to teach sound doctrine is of utmost importance, as it ensures the spiritual health and growth of the church.
