Can We Make God Jealous? - TS Wright

Can We Make God Jealous?  TS Wright

Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.

Today, we will be answering the question, “Can We Make God Jealous?”

To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright!  Scott, good to talk to you again, buddy!

Alright, let’s jump into this…

So, let’s start with this question… “What is Jealousy?”  The dictionary defines “Jealousy” as, “…a feeling of resentment, bitterness or hostility toward someone who has something that you don’t.”

That sounds like a “sin” – kind of like “coveting” – wanting something you cannot have.

Since God cannot sin – is God Jealous?  If so, why?

We see throughout Exodus 20:5 where the Bible says, “You shall not bow down to them or serve them (false idols), for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.”

 John 17:21 states, with Jesus praying here, “I pray that they all will be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also, may be in us so that world may believe that you have sent me…”

 Since Jesus and the Father are One, is Jesus jealous?

So, if “we are on in Christ” (Galatians 3:28), does that mean we can be jealous as well and not have it be a sin?

Why is this relevant to what is referred to as “the end times” which we live in today?

What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?

Scott, this has been so interesting as we discussed the “jealousy of God. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
