Envy and jealousy are rebellions against God’s provision and the opposite of love. We must transform our minds by “putting off” envy or jealousy and “putting on” being satisfied with God’s provisions for our life through three steps.
*NOTE: We had some issues with Bob’s mic on this episode. Thanks for bearing with us!
-ENVY WANTS WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS.
-JEALOUSY IS A FEAR THAT ANOTHER PERSON WILL TAKE AWAY WHAT IS YOURS.
-Both are self-centered, unloving, and destructive emotional problems
-God is the creator and owner of everything.
-His creations should worship and serve him alone.
-God is right to be jealous when his people worship idols instead of giving him the worship that belongs to Him alone.
-Love rejoices over the good of another (Luke
-Envy can be overcome by choosing to celebrate another person’s good fortune and speaking of their good qualities.
- By “putting off” envy or jealousy…
-And “putting on” satisfaction with God’s provisions for your life.
1. LOVE: UNDERSTANDING GOD’S LOVE FOR US
-Scripture helps us understand that God loves us, so we don’t need to seek love in other things.
If you are not content, you are questioning the sovereignty of God.
