Understands the effects of jealousy <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You have already written in the message some of the effects of envy, namely, that you do not enjoy life and you see yourself inferior to\u00a0those whom you\u00a0envy.The Bible says that jealousy, or envy affects human condition badly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">A tranquil heart is life to the body,\u00a0but <strong>passion is rottenness to the bones.<\/strong><\/span> (Proverbs 14:30)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Envy brings evils and makes other people to be scornful and cheer when something bad happens to those they envy.The latter bring trouble to the hostile persons:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">He who mocks the poor taunts his Maker;\u00a0he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.<\/span> (Proverbs 17:5)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If we understand the effects of jealousy, it is equally important to\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Understand the origins of jealousy <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the Epistle to\u00a0Romans, when describing the sinful state of mankind,\u00a0Apostle Paul says that because\u00a0people exchanged the truth of God for a lie and they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer \u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">\u2026 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; <strong>full of envy<\/strong>, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips.<\/span> (Romans 1:29)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apostle Paul also writes in the Epistle to Galatians that envy is the deed of the\u00a0sinful human nature:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,\u00a0idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, <strong>jealousy<\/strong>, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,\u00a0<strong>envying,<\/strong> drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.\u00a0(Galatians 5:19-21)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take note here to another consequence of envy \u2013 those who are\u00a0captive to it\u00a0will not inherit the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Do not deceive yourself <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the author of this message, some people seek to hide personal envy and even try to convince themselves that they are not jealous, but good Christians. When he wrote to such people, St. James said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.\u00a0But if you have <strong>bitter jealousy<\/strong> and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.\u00a0This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.\u00a0For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.\u00a0But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.\u00a0<\/span>(James 3:13-17)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible presents here two kinds of wisdom that form our thinking and attitudes.\u00a0If we want to have\u00a0divine wisdom from above we will seek to study the Scriptures and apply their teaching.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Do not be friends with the world <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Do not think that I want to say that we must cease to be friendly or communicate with people and friends. <span class=\"google-src-text\">No w<\/span>ay.God says that friendship with the world\u00a0is the actions and attitudes of the one who\u00a0claims to be a Christian, but, in fact, takes the way of thinking and acting as the other people do, who do not know and live according to divine wisdom that comes from above.Here is how James addresses these Christians\u00a0who are\u00a0friends with the world:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?\u00a0You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are <strong>envious<\/strong> and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.\u00a0You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.\u00a0You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.\u00a0<\/span>(James 4:1-4)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>5. Receive the Holy Spirit and live by His advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apostle Paul says that envy is the deed\u00a0of the nature\u00a0that enslaves the thinking and action of the one who is not born again. When one is <a href=\"https:\/\/moldovacrestina.md\/en\/how-to-be-born-again\/\">born again<\/a>,\u00a0when he repents and enters the New Covenant with Jesus Christ, every Christian receives from God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit continually gives him the power to overcome envy and other passions which have enslaved\u00a0him another time, as Paul writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.\u00a0For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.\u00a0But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.\u00a0Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,\u00a0idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,\u00a0<strong>envying,<\/strong> drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.\u00a0But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,\u00a0gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.\u00a0Now those who <strong>belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires<\/strong>.\u00a0If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.\u00a0Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:16-26)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>6. Study the Sacred Scriptures <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By studying the Scriptures God changes our mind and frees us from\u00a0the wrong\u00a0attitudes of another time.Therefore we are continually encouraged to study the Scriptures, about\u00a0which the Apostle Peter says that they are the\u00a0milk that makes a baby grow to maturity:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and <strong>envy<\/strong> and all slander,\u00a0like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,\u00a0if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.\u00a0<\/span>(1 Peter 2:1-3)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>7. Apply the teaching of the Sacred Scripture <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Since you study the\u00a0Scripture, be ready to apply what you learn personally as James writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.\u00a0For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;\u00a0for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.\u00a0But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.\u00a0(James 1:22-25)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I advise you to start reading the Bible in its entirety and then to get hold of the\u00a0inductive Bible study manuals, so that\u00a0you may grow spiritually in all respects and can get rid of\u00a0any envy forever.<\/p>\n<p>I invite all those who want to study deeply the Scriptures to live according to them to attend the session where I teach the \u201cCovenant\u201d course and the <u><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">English camp where I will teach \u201cMarriage without regrets\u201d course<\/span><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: My problem is envy.
