Why is the role of a watchman important in the church?

Answered in 1 source

The role of a watchman is crucial as they warn the congregation of spiritual dangers and guide them in the truth of the gospel.

The watchman serves a vital role in the church by sounding the alarm about false teachings and spiritual dangers, as spelled out in Ezekiel 33:7-9. A true watchman, empowered by the Holy Spirit, is called to feed the flock and protect them from grievous wolves (Acts 20:28). This entails not only teaching the truth but also warning against the deceptive doctrines prevalent in the world. By actively preaching Christ and His full salvation, a watchman helps to ensure that the church remains steadfast and grounded in the truth.
