Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is their salvation. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. Romans 10:1-2
We all know people who are very sincere in their religion, and have a great zeal to please God, but their decisions are not based on knowledge. Many think they can save themselves by their extra efforts, and don't know the righteousness of God only comes in Christ. If everyone seated on an airplane decided they would get a plane off the ground by lurching forward in unison and yelling "umph", how useless would that be? That's zeal without knowledge. Let's surrender to Christ. He'll get us off the ground.
