    A Jealous God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015

     | 21,142 views

    God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.
