A. INTRODUCTION
1. We must be men and women who passionately want to
promote God's kingdom on earth.

2. Our "goodness" could be measured by the extent to


which we feel a pure and growing hatred for evil.
B. FOUR KINDS OF GOOD PEOPLE

1. Those who do no evil, yet do not devote themselves faithfully to doing good..

2. Those who refrain from evil and also devote themselves to frequent
good deeds, yet, while they do not neglect to do what good they can, they see
no need to do more than that.
B. FOUR KINDS OF GOOD PEOPLE
3. Those who detest and avoid wrongdoing, fervently commit themselves
to whatever good they can do, and desire greater personal holiness, yet
lack equal concern for the holiness of others.

4. Those who avoid wrongdoing, practice virtue, are afire with


zeal for personal righteousness, and have zeal for winning souls.
PHIL 2:7
Jesus' example: Although he always had complete joy in
himself, he was not contentedly to possess glory, but emptied
himself, taking the form of a servant, in order to lead many
others into glory with him.
C. ZEAL FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS STEMS FROM THE
VERY BASIS OF OUR CHRISTIANITY,
NAMELY LOVE OF GOD AND OF
NEIGHBOR
1. A person who loves God not only desires to enjoy his goodness
and be close to him, but loves to see his will accomplished, his
worship carried out and his honor exalted.

2. A person who loves his neighbor desires not only health and
prosperity for him, but even more, eternal salvation.
C. ZEAL FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS STEMS FROM THE
VERY BASIS OF OUR CHRISTIANITY,
NAMELY LOVE OF GOD AND OF

3. Love of God and neighbor should cause us to mourn if God


is dishonored or disobeyed, and if others are not.

4. Although all Christians should love their neighbor, this love for
others is especially necessary for those who are leaders.

therefore God, your God, has anointed you..."
