Zeal Is Not Enough | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.38

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 10:2-3"For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness." (NIV)Picture a man walking for days under a punishing sun, warrant in hand, hunting down anyone who believed in Jesus. Paul was zealous — genuinely, admirably so. But zeal was never his problem. Direction was. In Romans 10, Paul turns that same honesty on Israel, and on all of us: hard work, discipline, and a spotless track record can still be aimed at the wrong target. Today we ask a harder question than how hard we're trying — we ask what we're building it toward.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
