1. Idolatry is adultery…. You are married to Jesus. 

2. God never Changes… 

God’s jealousy differs so noticeably from our own jealousies. 

  -  We’re jealous because of what we feel we’re losing out on. 

WHY DO THEY GET THAT… THAT SHOULD BE MINE. I NEED THAT, I DESERVE THAT… AND WE DESPISE THE PERSON WHO HAS IT.

Again, we are jealous because of what we feel we’re losing out on.

Thats not even close to what Gods jealousy is about… 

 -  Gods Jealous because of what we are giving up. 

God is good. He seeks our redemption. He seeks what is best for us and he never changes in that. 

and he never changes in that. 

and he never changes in that. 

and he never changes in that. 

His Jealousy is meant to bring us back to what is best for us.

His jealousy screams “why would you walk away from what is best for you” He’s whats best for us!

And finally

#3 GOD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST

This means he not only has the right to be jealous over us, he is obligated to be jealous over us. HE HAS TO BE… Because he knows whats best - its in his nature, his personhood, his deity… he would not be a good God is he knew what was best for us and was not jealous over us when we did not choose his ways.  

THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE IS TO POINT TO THE FACT THAT HE IS WORTHY!
