1 John informs us as sons of God which we are but what we will be when we receive the end of the promise is not known . He does reveal some of the mysteries of the bride the church
Some did have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Like Paul as Saul . As Saul he served the pagan religious tradition. . "out of sight out of mind" .No faith from God needed. T

The Holy Spirit turned it right side up. Pricked Saul's behind with the thorny letter of the law. And as a way out.. . . Woke him up gave him a new spirit with a proper sensitivity . You could say more motherly, submissive to her loving husband .
2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
The kinds mama bear love he has for us. Like a mother hen . He is the rooster who awakens us from the fast , snooze. . . fast . . . snooze. lol
Proverbs 17:12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
