  • Exodus 34:14

    Exodus 34:14 NLT
    14 You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
    A strong feeling of possessiveness, often caused by the possibility that something which belongs, or ought to belong, to one is about to be taken away. The word can be used in a positive sense (e.g., the jealousy of God), meaning a passionate commitment to something which rightly belongs to one. It can also be used in a negative sense (e.g., human jealousy), to mean a self-destructive human emotion similar to envy.
    God’s jealousy for his people
    God’s jealousy demands an exclusive response from his people
    ​
    Exodus 20:4–6 NLT
    4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. 6 But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.

    God possessiveness expresses itself in judgment on his people’s unfaithfulness
    Deuteronomy 4:24 NLT

    Human jealousy arises from sin
    ​
    Mark 7:21–23 NLT
    21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
    Human jealousy can be destructive.
    Proverbs 14:30 NLT
    30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
    Proverbs 27:4 NLT
    4 Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.
    Human jealousy is criticized by Scripture.
    Galatians 5:19–21 NLT
    19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
    Psalm 37:1–2 NLT
    1 Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. 2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
    1 Corinthians 13:4–7 NLT
    4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
    James 3:14–16 NLT
    14 But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. 15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. 16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.
    Examples of jealousy
    In the OT
    ​
    Genesis 4:3–5 NLT
    3 When it was time for the harvest, Cain presented some of his crops as a gift to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought a gift—the best portions of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift, 5 but he did not accept Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected.
    Joseph’s brothers:
    Genesis 37:4 NLT
    4 But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn’t say a kind word to him.
    Acts 7:9 NLT
    9 “These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him
    In Conclusion:
    In the early church
    ​
    Acts 5:17 NLT
    17 The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
    Acts 13:45 NLT

    Acts 17:5 NLT

    1 Corinthians 3:3 NLT
    3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world?
    2 Corinthians 12:20 NLT
    20 For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.
    Have A Blessed Week!
