Danger of Envy
Danger of Envy
Proverbs 24:1-2
1 Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; 2 For their minds devise violence, And their lips talk of trouble.
Myth
I'm jealous of unbelievers' sinful lifestyle.
Truth
Do not be jealous of the unbelievers' sinful lifestyle.
Challenge
Believers are called to live a life separated from the world (John 17:14-15). The values of the world teaches self-gratification while the Gospel preaches self-sacrifices (Matthew 16:24). Therefore, we should not desire the pleasures of the world instead we should seek to glorify Jesus (John 3:30).
