What does the Bible say about Christian zeal?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that zeal in Christianity is a strong desire to please God and advance His glory.

Christian zeal, as described in Scripture, is a fervent longing to honor God and fulfill His will. In Galatians 4:18, Paul states that zeal is admirable when directed toward good purposes. Titus 2:14 further reinforces this idea by noting that Christ redeemed us to purify a people eager to do what is good. Thus, biblical zeal should uniquely focus on glorifying God through our thoughts and actions, not merely enthusiasm for any cause.
Scripture References: Galatians 4:18, Titus 2:14
