What does the Bible say about being irreproachable?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible emphasizes that a leader in the church must be irreproachable, reflecting the character of Christ, as described in Titus 1:6.
In Titus 1:6, the Apostle Paul outlines that an elder must be 'irreproachable.' This term refers to being without blame, innocent, and not subject to accusations that can be substantiated. It reflects the character of Christ, who is perfectly holy and without sin. The call to be irreproachable is not just for church leaders but also for all believers, as it is a reflection of the transforming work of Christ in our lives. In Hebrews 7:26, Jesus is described as 'holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners.' Every believer is called to grow in holiness and become more like Christ, which includes being irreproachable through faith and dependence on God's grace.
