What does the Bible say about the gospel being a sacred trust?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is entrusted to the church by God, requiring faithfulness in declaring it.

According to 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Paul notes that he and others have been put in trust with the gospel, indicating its divine origin and the accountability that comes with it. This stewardship reflects the eternal purpose of God, established in the covenant of grace, showing that the gospel is not merely a human invention but a divine gift entrusted to His church. Furthermore, the church's role as stewards of the gospel means they must faithfully declare the complete truth of God's grace as revealed in Scripture, without adding to or taking away from its message.
