How do we know the doctrine of God's jealousy is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine of God's jealousy is affirmed in Scripture, highlighting His exclusive right to worship and His disdain for idolatry.

Scripture reveals God's character as a jealous God, particularly in Exodus 20:3-5, where He commands that no other gods be put before Him. This jealousy is not sinful but reflects His holiness and the exclusivity of His glory. He declares in Exodus 34:14 that His name is 'Jealous.' This jealousy serves to protect the sacredness of worship due to His being the one true God, emphasizing that any form of idolatry or syncretism is a direct affront to His nature and covenant.
