If jealously is a sin, how can God be jealous?
God is referred to in scripture as jealous, and desire is alluded to in Scripture as wrongdoing. The second decree expressly says that God is a jealous God (Exodus 20:4– 5; cf. 34:14); yet, in Galatians Paul censures envy in an indistinguishable breath from excessive admiration (Galatians 5:19– 20).
By what means would this be able to be?

In the first place, there is such an unbelievable marvel as purified desire. In that capacity, desire is the best possible reaction of a spouse or wife whose trust has been damaged through betrayal.
To be sure, when a selective pledge relationship is shamed, purified envy is the energetic energy that battles to reestablish that sacred association.
The desire of God for his blessed name and for the selective love of his kin in that capacity is purified.
Moreover, as there is purified desire, so too there is evil envy. In this sense desire is horrendously pining for another's points of interest. Appropriately, the messenger Paul records desire as a demonstration of the evil nature. Says Paul, "The demonstrations of the evil nature are self-evident: sexual perversion, polluting influence and revelry; worshipful admiration and witchcraft; scorn, dissension, desire, attacks of anger, childish aspiration, dissentions, groups and begrudge; tipsiness, blow-outs, and so forth" (Galatians 5:19– 21, accentuation included).
At last, as God embodies purified desire, so the individuals who mirror his character must be fanatical for the things of God.
The Bible is loaded with legends, for example, Elijah (1 Kings 19:10, 14), David (Psalm 69:9), and Paul (2 Corinthians 11:2) whose jealousy for God's wonderfulness propelled self– forfeit and radical change. The quintessential illustration, in any case, is found in the incarnate Christ who practiced the embodiment of purified envy by toppling the tables of the moneychangers in the temple– – an emblematic signal denouncing the Jewish pioneers of his day for disrespecting God through their terrible religiosity (Matthew 21:12– 13; John 2:17; cf. Jeremiah 7:9– 15).
I am desirous for you with a genuine envy.
I guaranteed you to one spouse, to Christ, with the goal that I might show you as an unadulterated virgin to him."
(2 Corinthians 11:2)

Jealousy isn't a sin. It's not the same as envy. Jealousy is being possessive of what you have or wanting what someone else has. Envy is a hostility to those who have what you want.
