Zeal
Rm.10:1-3,Hos.4:6, Isa.5:13, Jh.8:4
Having azeal for God is not enough; it cannot carry you through to salvation. Havingzeal with knowledge is the key. Rm.10:2, for I bear them witness thatthey have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. Withoutknowledge of the word of God, every step in the race is in vain. The word ofGod also confirms it, Hos.4:6 My people are destroyed for lack ofknowledge; Isa.5:13 therefore my people have gone into captivity because theyhave no knowledge. Evidently, Zeal without knowledge is zero. Being an emotional Christian or a loud one when it comes to praise worship will add nothing. Do you search for knowledge by His grace? Understanding is what gives knowledge.When understanding of who you serve is set inside of you, then you will have aknowing edge in all areas of life. Jesus said in Jh8:43, why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to my word. Get active by spending time in the word, gain understanding, increase in knowledge, and then your zeal will carry you through. With God, all is possible.ÊÊÊ ÊÊ
