RE: "In the end, the answer to sloth is zeal, a passion for God’s Word and His gifts."

Jesus "gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works." (Titus 2:14 ESV, emphasis added)

Where Christian brothers and sisters discover joy in coming together to meet a genuine need in their community, zeal for further effort results.

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." (Eph. 2:10 ESV)
