Jealousy and envy are soul-enemies, and Scripture warns us against them over and over. We’re told that jealousy is a fruit of the flesh (Galatians 5:21), an antonym of love (1 Corinthians 13:4), a symptom of pride (1 Timothy 6:4), a catalyst for conflict (James 3:16), and a mark of unbelievers (Romans 1:29).

So what does killing jealousy actually look like? Ultimately, it’s identifying it as evil and then attacking it with truth. We must:

1. Recognize jealousy as deception.

2. Repent of idolatry.

3. Confront jealousy with joy.

4. Count your blessings.
