Truth Exposed:  Jealousy

James 4:5 tells us that God is jealous for us.  Jealousy is both positive and negative, the Greek and Hebrew show both meanings.  As concerns the Lord, it is positive, meaning he is zealous for the spirit that lives in us, namely his.  Nahum 1:2, Psalm 78:58, Ezekiel 39:25, and Deuteronomy 4:24 are just a few. Paul had this same jealousy in 2 Corinthians 11:2.  God’s jealousy is righteous and pure; the world’s jealousy is evil and enslaving.  Listen to Shane and Shane:  https://youtu.be/5SJf5gdnVcM?si=4PFY7jtmvXVJGaOO
