Zealous For God and His Work

Series:  Totally Committed 111/06/11 Paul tells us in Titus 2:14 - we should be “zealous of good works.”  To be zealous describes one of the strongest emotions.  Zeal is an intense emotion which compels to actions.  When you are zealous for something, it manifests in energetic, and unwavering pursuit or devotion to a cause.  That is why some versions translate this word “zelotes” as “fully committed.”  We are to be fervently pursuing or fully committed to good works. The example of Jesus teaches us what it means to be zealous of good works.  He shows us what that looks like.  He demonstrates that it means we must preach zealously, pray zealously and give zealously.
