The Jealousy of God - Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: Modern people are often uncomfortable when the Bible speaks of God’s jealousy. Yet, God’s jealousy is intimately related to God’s love toward us. The relationship that God calls us to is not merely one of subjects obeying a king. Rather, God calls us into a marriage relationship with Him, and His jealousy is spousal. God seeks a relationship with us that is characterized by priority, fidelity, and intimacy.

After reading the comments here I get the impression that some people did not hear the last few minutes of the sermon. In case you missed it the point of this sermon is the GOSPEL. Go to

Many people find the narrow path that God offers along with the demand that He must be the only way as very offensive and intolerant in modern society. The claim of Christianity being the only way with no guarantee of salvation for people having other religion(s) is often cited as the worst. Such is first expressed in the Old Testament and Jesus explicitly makes it clear in the New Testament as well, claiming how no one can serve multiple masters and must serve one master along with Him being the only way.

The definition of jealously is when you're worried someone's trying to take what you have. And if God suffers this very human condition then he is an imperfect god.

So I watched a documentary on a porn star who’s husband allows her to be in the business and he isn’t jealous and he loves her. Can God do this? If not then why?

I am a jealous God because whilst you know” I AM “ my church is divided by self justifying beliefs. Don’t you know that because there is only one God and one holy trinity there should only be one church. Count your words should anyone separate my essence. The sermon was beautiful but there is no need to criticize the traditional churches for they 1st received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. It was the early church which compiled your bible and gave you the creed. I am an Orthodox Christian and tradition is at the roots of my faith and in saying that ,I love you in God not because I am different but in essence my God is a jealous God and we all abide in him and he in us. Do you not realize that the more you self justify yourself by telling someone else that there Christian religion has something wrong it is just another self justifying idol in the making. At the core we all pray to the holy trinity,confess our sins and believe that the holy communion is truly the body and blood of Christ .

What is God jealous about?About earthlings worshipping other divine entities,other "Gods"?If there is only one "God",then there is no need to be jealous,because the other "Gods" that people worship do not exist.If He is getting jealous,then there really are other divine entities beside the Biblical "God",exactly what Buddhist scriptures reveal.The realm of heavenly beings is where the Biblical "God" resides,as Lord Shakyamuni Buddha teaches.He is Great Brahma in Buddhism("God" has many names),characterised by pure white light,as Buddhist scriptures tell
