I recall the starting fourth dimension time I heard that God is a jealous God (Deuteronomy 6:15). I didn't know what it meant.
I'd e'er idea of jealousy equally something bad.
But agreement how too why God is jealous is an of import Biblical principle.
For 1 thing, jealousy is non necessarily a negative trait.
Like a loving married adult man is jealous for his wife's affection unwilling to portion her alongside other men, God is jealous for our affection unwilling to portion us alongside other gods.
Secondly, our jealously may hold out contaminated past times pride or envy. But God's jealousy is pure too loving.
It's impossible for God to hold out arrogant because arrogance agency thinking yous are improve than yous are. And God is improve than our superlatives.
He's perfect, awesome, never wrong!
He's the perfect Father, Shepherd, Creator, Counselor, Helper....
We owe Him our ultimate love, faith, trust, too devotion. Giving God anything less is harmful to our human relationship alongside Him.
To bring such a wonderful God jealous for our affections is something that should teach out us speechless!
