A liderança, segundo a Bíblia, é definida pelo serviço, integridade e caráter. Esses princípios são essenciais tanto para a vida pessoal quanto profissional. 1 Timóteo 3:1-7 oferece uma lista de qualificações para um bom líder, como ser irrepreensível, temperante, sóbrio, hospitaleiro, apto para ensinar e não ser avarento. Essas qualidades revelam que a liderança bíblica é fundamentada no exemplo de Cristo, que liderou através do serviço e do amor.
A Bíblia nos fornece exemplos de grandes líderes que serviram com coragem e humildade. Moisés, Davi e Paulo são exemplos de líderes que, com fé, colocaram os interesses de Deus e do povo acima dos seus próprios. Em Tito 1:6-9, Paulo reafirma que líderes devem ser "irrepreensíveis, não arrogantes, nem iracundos". Esses líderes demonstraram grande devoção e compromisso com a vontade de Deus.
A liderança cristã é marcada pelo serviço humilde e por uma visão alinhada aos propósitos de Deus. O líder bíblico guia o povo com amor, justiça e verdade, sempre baseado nos ensinamentos da Palavra. Um bom líder, à luz das Escrituras, serve com integridade e busca o bem de todos, sem visar seus próprios interesses.
Ser um bom líder, segundo a Bíblia, é servir com humildade e liderar com o coração de Cristo. Desafie-se a desenvolver essas qualidades em sua vida diária e influencie positivamente aqueles ao seu redor.

1 These are true words. If a man wants to be a leader of the church people, he seeks a good thing.
2 For a man to be a church leader, people must speak well of him. He must have only one wife. He must be able to control himself. He must use good sense. He must behave himself well. He must be kind to strangers in his house. He must be a good teacher.
3 He must not get drunk. He must not fight. But he must be kind. He must not quarrel. He must not love money.
4 He must be a good leader for his own family. His children must obey him and respect him.
5 If a man does not know how to lead his own family, how can he take care of the church of God?
6 A church leader must not be a new believer. If he were a new believer, he might become proud and set himself up like the devil did.
7 People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devils trap.
6 The church leader must be a good man because he looks after Gods work. He must not want his own way. He must not get angry or get drunk. He must not fight. He must not try to get rich in wrong ways.
7 But he must be kind to strangers in his house. He must love what is good. He must be wise. He must do what is right. He must live a holy life. He must know how to control himself.
8 He must hold strongly to the true message which he has been taught. Then he will be able to teach other people what is right. And he will be able to answer people who talk against it.
9 There are many people who do not obey Gods truth. They talk about things that do no good, and they fool people by it. The Jewish leaders do this very much.
