Summary "A Coal From The Altar, To Kindle The Holy Fire of Zeale" by Samuel Ward is a theological sermon written in the early 17th century. This work serves as a persuasive exhortation to rekindle spiritual zeal among Christians, particularly focusing on the dangers of spiritual lukewarmness and the importance of fervent devotion to God. Through scriptural references and passionate rhetoric, Ward emphasizes the necessity of maintaining an active and fervent faith. In the sermon, Ward explores the nature of zeal as a vital Christian attribute, contrasting it with false forms of zeal that lead to hypocrisy or fervor without substance. He meticulously distinguishes between genuine zeal, which is characterized by sincere love and devotion to God, and counterfeit zeal, which is often marked by outward show and lack of true commitment. Throughout the text, he encourages believers to examine their spiritual fervor, engage in heartfelt prayer, and take action in their faith, rallying them to be both fervent in spirit and active in good works for God's glory. Ward’s work is a call to revitalization, urging readers to embrace a zealous faith that echoes through their lives and communities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
