1 | Which spirit does God jealously desire? | James 4:5 | 3rd jon,4 | 146159 | ||
I have long had Questions re. this verse, both with the word (S)spirit, and the wishes of a "jealous" God. Does the word spirit refer to our spirit, which He desires to live for/with Him eternally, or does it refer to His Holy Spirit which he has placed within us upon our salvation/ Next; Is it His jealous desire to have back our spirit, which he has created for His pleasure and Glory, or is He jealously protecting His Spirit which He has caused to live in us, or is it His jealous desire to have us recognise,welcome,love, and delight in having His Holy Spirit, dwell with and in us,affecting the changes/growth nesessary to bring us to Glory? |

2 | Which spirit does God jealously desire? | James 4:5 | EdB | 146231 | ||
James is speaking to fellow believers. The Spirit here is the Holy Spirit that dwells in very believer. He jealously desires us to worship God not he things of this world. God's desire is for us to abandon our worldly wants and desires and seek Him and Him alone. To many Christians refuse to let go of the world they seek fine living and even search scripture for verses that might promise this. But scripture tells us to seek God, His Kingdom and all else will take care of itself. That doesn't mean we will get all else it means our "real" needs will be met. God is jealous he will not share our love with the world. EdB |

3 | Which spirit does God jealously desire? | James 4:5 | Mommapbs | 158299 | ||
EdB - in reference to this verse - might it be that God really is jealous for His Spirit - for His Name, His glory, for His purposes? Might it not be about us at all that He is jealous for? Is 48:11 et.al. Blessings, mommapbs |
