1. Jealousy
1. Jealousy
a) The battle that rages inside all of us is that even when our intentions are good, we still have a sin nature and often yield to sin. On of those sins is jealousy, which is closely related to one of the "seven deadly sins" called envy or covetous.
b) There are a number of Bible verses that deal with this when we fall into jealousy or envy, we will often spiral down very quickly in our spiritual life. It is easy to fall into jealousy in our materialistic society. The mantra of culture seems to be to keep up with the Jones'. Grab all that you can. Put yourself first in all things.
2. Jealousy Leads To Destruction
James 3:16
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

James 4:1-2
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
