What does the Bible say about pastors and their responsibility?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against pastors who scatter and destroy God's flock, emphasizing the importance of shepherding God's elect with truth.

In Jeremiah 23, God through the prophet warns against pastors who destroy and scatter His people. It is a serious matter for those in pastoral roles, as their responsibility is to shepherd God's elect. They must tend to the flock, preaching the truth of the gospel rather than lies that lead to scattering or spiritual harm. True pastors are given as gifts from Christ to guide His people with care and truth, as they will be held accountable for their leadership.
