AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 34:14 --for you shall not worship any other god; for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely His]-- |
Bible Question: How is God's jealousy different from ours? |
Bible Answer: Because all glory, honor and praise DO truly belong to God. Our jealousy is seeing things that other people have or exhibit that we merely want for ourselves. God's jealously comes from the fact that everything in creation is indeed his. It is more like how I jealously guard my wife against advances from others. We belong to each other, and no one else has a right to her. This is the same way Christ loves his church and the way God is possessive of all His creation and the praises of His people. --Joe! |
