Its possible that they lost their zeal for the Lord. This world can be big distraction. Jesus is our salvation and he can't be lost.
Doing their first works over is a good thing according to the letters to the church in Revelation but how does one return to their first love? By making Jesus front and center in their lives.

The body of this christian character is wheat- tares mixed W pride and zesl is their faith alone .
Here take it very serious them that hold this in their Hearts as god love, is fslse lust really!
  • People Driven by Pure Zeal without deep, Relational Knowledge often use Their faith as a Hammer. They become rigid, judgmental, and focused on rules rather than compassion.
  • Loving the "Idea" of God: It is very easy to fall in love with a Religious identity, a political stance, or the emotional high of a community. However, loving the culture surrounding Faith is Not the Same as knowing the Heart of who God is.!
  • Arrogance Over Humility: True knowledge of something vast and divine usually humbles a man. Pure Zeal, on the other hand, frequently breeds a dangerous certainty that makes people unteachable.

Zeal isn't always bad. We do read of Paul saying that before he met Jesus on the Damascus road, he had been zealous for the traditions of his fathers. But he wrote of good zeal, too:

(Gal 4:18 NKJV) But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

Know the whole teaching is best. here is a quick run down on what you have displayed to backup your holding on to old tradition
Galatians 4:18 emphasizes that true spiritual passion and dedication must be consistent, enduring even when spiritual mentors or leaders are Not Around. In this verse, the Apostle Paul Challenges the Galatian church to Evaluate the motives behind their Enthusiasm and to maintain their Commitment to the True Gospel Independently.

The Context of Galatians 4:18
To fully grasp Paul's message, it helps to examine the surrounding verse dynamics:
  • The Manipulation of False Teachers: In the preceding verse (Galatians 4:17), Paul Warns that False Teachers (the Judaizers) "Zealously court you, but for No good". They used Flattery and intense attention to isolate the Galatians and make the b
  • Believers Dependent on Them.
  • Healthy vs. Unhealthy Zeal: Paul does not condemn zeal itself. He clarifies that enthusiasm, eagerness, and passion are excellent traits—Provided They are directed toward a Noble, Godly Purpose.
  • The Test of Absence: The phrase "Not only when I am present with you" Targets a common flesh man flaw. It is easy to Act righteously, study scripture, and stay on fire for God when a pastor, mentor, or parent is Watching. True maturity means keeping that same spiritual Fire when you are Completely on Your Own.

Btw Saul Zeal was never going to stop him from killing followers Of The now King Jesus glorified . Jesus Chose Saul period . stopped Him in his tracks .told Saul, i am Jesus and you're harming persecuting me! That Zeal of Saul Ranked him nothing but a murdering judge ,, clue in
 
That struggle with doubt accompanies faith is indicated in Romans 7. We are delivered from the doubt side by flipping the coin to the faith side, the winning/victorious side. :love:
