Most oftentimes nosotros hollo back of “jealousy” every bit a negative quality: existence discontent as well as resentful toward someone because they accept something nosotros want.
We likewise run it negatively when describing a mortal who’s unjustly suspicious as well as distrustful of someone they love.
Our perfect God is zealously jealous for our affections, loyalty as well as dear (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:24).
That’s a skilful thing. It's similar to a hubby who is zealously jealous because simply about other human being makes a transcend at his wife.
And nosotros should live on zealously jealous for God – standing upward for His honor, His values, as well as His Words.
More as well as to a greater extent than I’m encountering Christians who jealously defend authors, books, movies, teachings, as well as moral values that misrepresent God’s character.
How deplorable this must brand our righteously jealous God (Isaiah 63:7-10).
