How do we know that idolatry is a sin in the eyes of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that idolatry is a sin, as it conflicts with God's holiness and His command to worship Him alone.

Idolatry is condemned throughout Scripture, with God declaring His exclusive right to worship. In Joshua 24:19-20, Joshua warns the Israelites that the Lord is a jealous God who will not forgive transgressions against Him. This reflects the seriousness of idolatry as not just an act of worship but a profound rebellion against God's authority and holiness. The historical warnings given to Israel serve as a timeless reminder of the dangers of turning away from God to serve other gods. For Christians, this highlights the necessity of maintaining a pure heart devoted to God and rejecting any counterfeit affections that divert worship from Him.
