Romans 10

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (Romans 10:2)

I actually sent this bible verse through sms to a friend before, acknowledging his zeal for God, but lamenting that it was without the true knowledge of God.

I think he thought the same of me as well.

It's really quite comical, if you were to take a step back to visualise the situation. Two persons, such convinced by his/her beliefs, trying to win the other over, with neither budging. So both stay put, where they are.

Although he might appear to be stubborn and hard-hearted, and not willing to accept the truth into his heart, I must say that he is really one of the few zealous people I see around these days. And he is one of the only few in my uni days whom I can discuss about faith and God with.

But it is a misdirected zeal. And I can almost hear Paul's voice crack as he writes this passage of the epistle. However, I truly believe that the sheep of God will hear His voice. They will return to the fold eventually.

It is, too, my heart's desire and prayer to God for my friend to be saved.
