Zeal for What is Good John 2:13-22

ZEAL “to boil with heat, be hot” “excitement of (the) mind, ardor, fervor of spirit…in embracing, pursuing, defending anything” “to boil with heat, be hot”

ZEAL Not prejudice, anger or hatred disguised as religious fervor Good when based on truth and directed toward godly ends, John 2:17 (Psalm 69:9); Galatians 4:17-18 Misplaced zeal can be deadly

Misplaced Zeal Zeal without knowledge (of truth), Romans 10:1-3 Produces sins of unbelief, Acts 22:3-5 Philippians 3:6; 1 Timothy 1:13 Lost, Romans 10:1-2

Misplaced Zeal Zeal for the traditions of men, Galatians 1:14 (Mark 7:1-13) Zeal that is self-serving, Galatians 4:17; 6:12-13 (Romans 12:11)

God-Approved Zeal Harmonizes with God’s will, Numbers 25:6-11 Enthusiasm for righteousness (Phinehas, Psalm 106:30-31) Zealots (Simon, Luke 6:15)

God-Approved Zeal Accomplishes God’s will, Numbers 25:11-13 Directed toward “good things” always, Galatians 4:18; Philippians 2:12; Titus 2:14

God-Approved Zeal Works and prays for the spiritual well- being of others, Colossians 4:12-13; 2 Corinthians 9:2 Does not condone error and immorality (Phineas, Elijah, Jesus) Does not harm the church, Phil. 3:6

God-Approved Zeal Grows out of personal conversion, 2 Corinthians 7:11 Godly sorrow and repentance The result, Galatians 2:20 Examples, Acts 2:41-47; 8:39; 19:17-20

The Zeal of the Lord Zealous of righteousness, Numbers 25:11 Zealously accomplishes His purposes, Isaiah 9:6-7

Our Zeal for the Lord We need stirring up to love and good works, Hebrews 10:24 Zealous of good works, Titus 2:14

What is the nature of our zeal?

Our Zeal for the Lord Zeal with knowledge leads to fervent, faithful service to the Lord “…not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11)
