“Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.” (Romans 12:11 ESV)

Have you ever met someone whom you would describe as fervent in their relationship with the Lord? Picture that person now, standing before you. Maybe they’re a loved one who has passed away, and their memory lives on in the lives they touched. Maybe you know this person from church, or it could be a family member or friend. Just the thought of them likely brings you joy. Because that’s what fervent people do. Being around them changes us for the better.

When we hear the word fervent, we usually think of someone intensely passionate. Maybe their fervor is about a topic, a belief, or a stance on something important. A believer who is intensely passionate about Jesus is a treasure. Their zeal for Jesus can not only be seen or heard but felt in our spirits, as well. I’ve been blessed to know a few fervent people in my life. One comes to mind right now. His enthusiasm for the things of God is contagious. Spending time with him uplifts me. He’s passionate about God and the Bible. But it’s even more than that— it’s a level of joy almost unexplainable with words.

The Greek word for fervent as used in Romans 12:11 refers to boiling with heat or hot. It reminds me of a phrase I often hear in the church— that our spirits should be “on fire for God.”
