Qualifications of a Good Pastor:

1. Personal knowledge: no stranger to God or gospel experiences (Jn. 10:5; 2Cor. 5:17; Jn. 3:5; Gal. 5:16-26 1Cor. 12)

2. Divine call: not from avarice, personal ambition, respect, honor, self-interests, or love of ease (Jn. 10:2; Acts 13:3; 1Cor. 12:28; Eph. 4:11; Rom. 11:29)

3. Consecrated motives: God's will and glory, salvation of lost souls, and the best interests of the church and all men (Jn. 10:9-13 Lk. 19:10; Acts 10:28; 2Cor. 5:14-21 Eph. 4:12)

4. Divine anointing: not human education, wisdom, polish, and effort only, but divine leading and help (Lk. 11:13; 24:49; Jn. 7:37-39; 14:12-17,26; 15:26; Acts 1:4-8; 5:32; 1Cor. 2:1-10; 12:1-11 2Cor. 3)

5. Personal interest: acquaintance with his flock, private and public instruction, and helpfulness in all problems (Jn. 10:3,9; Acts 20:26-35 Eph. 1:15-19; 3:13-21 1Th. 2:4-13 2Tim. 4:1-5 Heb. 13:7,17)

6. Good example: lead, not drive; feed, not destroy; and live what is preached (Jn. 10:3-4 1Cor. 4:9-13 2Cor. 4:8-18; 6:1-10 1Tim. 3:1-13; 4:11-16 2Tim. 2; Tit. 1)

7. Divine success: be zealous and fearless to protect, heal, preserve, increase, visit, and sacrifice for the flock (Jn. 10:9-18 Mk. 16:17-18 Jas. 5:14-16 Lk. 19:10; Jer. 23:1-8 Ezek. 13:1-9 Ezek. 34)
