Zealous

Numbers 25:11
“Pinchas the son of El‘azar, the son of Aharon the cohen, has deflected my anger from the people of Isra’el by being as zealous as I am, so that I didn’t destroy them in my own zeal.

Mark 7:36
Yeshua ordered the people to tell no one; but the more he insisted, the more zealously they spread the news.

Galatians 4:17
True, these teachers are zealous for you, but their motives are not good. They want to separate you from us so that you will become zealous for them.

Galatians 4:18
To be zealous is good, provided always that the cause is good. Indeed, whether I am present with you or not,

As you can see from the verses above. To be zealous is both good and bad. As you see with Pinchas back in numbers he was zealous for Yahweh and stopped Yahweh from destroying the people of Israel in his anger. But, if you look at the teachers in Galatians they were too zealous and made it about themselves. So be careful when being too zealous. Make sure you stay on the right path with your zealousness.

Yahweh

where he had first built the altar; and there Avram called on the name of Yahweh.

Repent

Acts 2:38

Kefa answered them, “Turn from sin, return to God, and each of you be immersed on the authority of Yeshua the Messiah into forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh!

Isaiah 1:27

Tziyon will be redeemed by justice; and those in her who repent, by righteousness.

Jeremiah 31:18
Yes, I turned away; but later I repented. When I had been made to understand, I struck my thigh in shame and remorse, bearing the weight of the disgrace acquired when I was young.’

Jeremiah 34:15
Now you repented, you did what is right from my viewpoint when each of you proclaimed freedom to his fellow; and you made a covenant before me in the house bearing my name.

Ezekiel 18:21
“However, if the wicked person repents of all the sins he committed, keeps my laws and does what is lawful and right; then he will certainly live, he will not die.

Repent means to turn with sorrow from a past course of action. To turn away from sin and follow Yahweh. But, that not all it means. There is a deeper meaning to the word repent. To truly repent means to turn wholeheartedly to Yah and continue to continue to try to get closer to him. At least, that what it means to me.
