1604.—A Jealous God. Ex. 20:5.

By Editor

Would you please explain Exodus 20:5. How is God a jealous God? T. O. S.
Jealous in the sense that the best and truest service of man belongs to Him, and for man’s own sake God is anxious that it should be rendered to Him. Just as a true husband or wife may be said to be jealous of the affections of the other. Vigilant in guarding, watchful. It can not be likened to foolish jealousy of the human, resting on distrust and suspicion.
