“Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us listeth to envy?” (James 4:5)
The Holy Spirit dwelling in the believer keeps guard over us. The Bible says that our God is a jealous God. He will not sit around and do nothing and act indifferently when the world is trying to entice us away from Him. A great reminder of this truth is found in Galatians 5:17, “For the flesh listeth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other…”
A man who loves his wife does not act as though he doesn’t care if another man is showing his wife attention in an attempt to win her affections. There is such a thing as Godly jealousy.
Our Savior paid a tremendous price to save us and to give us a mansion in heaven. Satan makes every effort to spoil God’s plans for us and to wreck our lives.
