Why is the character of deacons emphasized in the Bible?

The character of deacons is particularly emphasized because they are called to exemplify Christ-like service. In 1 Timothy 3:8-10, Paul mentions that deacons must be tested first and then serve if they prove to be blameless. Their character reflects the nature of Christ, who came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). By maintaining a good testimony both within and outside the church, deacons uphold the integrity of the Gospel and ensure that their service is consistent with the teachings of Scripture.
