A jealous God
"[Y]ou shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" (Exodus 34:14).
Charles Spurgeon
addresses Christians:
The Lord Jesus Christ, of whom I now speak, is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he not choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he not buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think you are your own, or that you belong to this world.
He loved you with such a love that he could not stop in heaven without you; he would sooner die than that you should perish; he stripped himself to nakedness that he might clothe you with beauty; he bowed his face to shame and spitting that he might lift you up to honour and glory, and he cannot endure that you should love the world, and the things of the world.
Be careful, Christians, you that are married to Christ; remember, you are married to a jealous husband.
