Embracing Loving Service
Zeal with Loving Service: Phinehas• Why did Phinehas have zeal with
loving service?–How does God see sin? (Isa. 59:2;
Rom. 6:23)–How does God see righteousness?
(Jas. 2:23; Job 1:8; Gen. 6:8-9; 2 Pet. 2:5)
When we begin to see sin and righteousness as God sees
them, it will deepen our love for Him and for others, making
our zeal more fruitful.
