2 Corinth 11:2 “ For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy; for I have espoused you to one Husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”-
Jealousy is a close cousin to envy when it comes from a self - centered heart. To be jealous carries with it an emotion of feeling resentful that someone has somethings that you wish you had, or not wanting to share with anyone that which you possess. To a heart that is self centered this could lead to behavior that is dangerous and harmful. But there is a godly jealousy that desires to protect that which is theirs. God, who bought us through Christ, desires a close relationship with us, He wants our full love and devotions. Satan is out to woe us into serving sin and put a wedge between us and God. God desires that we be faithful and with a godly jealousy will go out of His way to keep us in His protection.
