How do we know God is a jealous God?

Answered in 1 source

God's jealousy is evidenced in Scripture, where He expresses His desire for His people to worship Him exclusively.

God's nature as a jealous God is clearly articulated in Scripture, especially in Exodus 34:14, where He insists that His people worship no other gods. This revelation of God's jealousy is tied closely with His love for His people, as it reflects His commitment to protect His relationship with them. Jealousy, in this context, is a holy attribute that indicates how deeply God values His covenant with His people. Furthermore, the example of Hosea's relationship with Gomer illustrates this jealous love, where God commands commitment despite unfaithfulness. God’s jealousy also serves as a reminder of the exclusivity demanded in our worship—He will not share His glory with another.
