We are still studying five important points about how God Loved us, and it’s proven by: His hand put our body parts together while we were still in our mother’s womb Psalms 139: 13

His sacrifice of Christ dying a painful death to save us Romans 5:8

He gave us the inspired bible so that there’s not much communication gap 2 Timothy 3:16

Today, we are talking about, 

GOD’S JEALOUSY: 

First of all, what does it mean to be jealous? Well, to be jealous is;

Suspecting opposition in love, troubled by worries that one might have been replaced in someone’s affections, suspicious of a lover’s or spouse’s faithfulness.

Be careful to protect what you love and appreciate.

To envy someone for their success

To be suspicious.

Out of the four definitions above, number two is primarily what we are talking about because God can’t be suspicious or suspect, for He knows everything. God carefully protects us. 

Jealousy is the evidence of love. Those who are jealous are very sensitive. 

It’s common in America for civilians to lawfully own pistols for protection, while in most traditional African societies, the head of the family keeps a sharp spear in case of insecurities; he uses it to protect his family.

Also, in America or in developed parts of the world, kissing is common. You can greet someone by kissing because there are different types of kissing, but in most parts of Africa, it’s rare, and some relate it to sex.

This brings me to a relevant story of jealousy. An African brother returned from the US after fifteen years and greeted his drunk brother, who sometimes smoked opium with a handshake, but reaching his wife, he kissed her twice, just a normal kiss of greetings. So his drunk brother got angry and started threatening his younger brother, recalling their old quarrels when they were still kids. So he gave him five minutes to leave his home, accusing him of showing children a bad example, attempting to romance his wife before his eyes in broad daylight. He ran and picked his spear and his younger brother refused to obey the five minutes ultimatum, he also pulled his pistol and told his brother he’s at home, he isn’t going anywhere. To make it short, neighbors came and separated them.

The funny thing is this is a man who beats his wife, and now, because of love, he wants to kill somebody.

God said He’s jealous because of us. He sent Jesus to die for us. He may punish us to discipline us, but He is willing to do anything to secure us, and He did it. When Satan comes around us, He feels jealous even more than this drunk brother.

In the next article, I will talk about the last proof of God’s Love.
