In "Zealous But Wrong," CH Spurgeon emphasizes that salvation is not achieved through zealous works or religious fervor, but solely through faith in Christ. He reflects on the Apostle Paul’s warning against zeal without knowledge in Romans 10, noting that many are driven by religious enthusiasm yet lack a true understanding of God’s righteousness. Spurgeon argues that human efforts, no matter how earnest or well-intentioned, cannot earn salvation; only Christ’s righteousness can justify a person before God.

"It is of no use to be zealous if you are zealous in a wrong cause."
"The man that is desperately earnest in a wrong way, if you can but show him his wrong, and teach him what is right, will be just as earnest in the right way. Oh, what splendid Christians some would make who are now such devotees of superstition!"
"It is easier to get a sinner out of his sin than a self-righteous man out of his self-righteousness."
"Those who are satisfied with their own holiness are ignorant of God’s attribute of righteousness."
