Godly Jealousy Vs Worldly Jealousy...
TO REMEMBER:
For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be ... I fear that there may be discord, JEALOUSY, fits of rage, selfishness, ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder. - Paul.
📖 -(2 Cor.12:20)
TO UNDERSTAND:
There are two types of "Jealousies". One is healthy & the other is destructive!
Godly Jealousy: (2 Cor.11:2)
- GOD is very protective of His people with righteous jealousy. Jesus said you can't serve both GOD & money! (Deut.4:24)
- It's natural, right & acceptable for a married spouse to be protective of his or her partner's full affection, loyalty, commitment, etc., for they are one! (Prov.6:34-35)
Wordly Jealousy: (1 Cor.3:3)
- Instead of rejoicing over the success & well-being of the other, there is a growing inward bitterness & hatred towards the other!
- When the Jews saw the crowds (favoring Paul), they were filled with JEALOUSY. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him. (Acts 13:45)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not ENVY, it does not boast, it is not proud.
(1 Corinth.13:4)
