What does zeal without knowledge mean for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Zeal without knowledge can lead to serious errors in action.

The account of James and John shows us that well-meaning intentions can result in grievous mistakes if not guided by sound knowledge. Their desire to call down fire on the Samaritan village was a demonstration of zeal, but it was misplaced and not founded on a proper understanding of Christ's mission. This illustrates the importance for Christians to seek knowledge alongside zeal; otherwise, they risk acting in ways that contradict the very gospel they profess.
