93. Why does God describe Himself as a "jealous God"?
God refuses to share us with other gods.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD; that is My name; My glory I give to no other, nor My praise to carved idols.
Exodus 19:5-6 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nations. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.
Read Ezekiel 6:9; 18:20-21.
