Oh, the terrible plight of Jealousy in the sin cursed self! Proverbs 27:4

Oh, the terrible plight of Jealousy in the sin cursed self!
Proverbs 27:4
    4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

Jealousy arises as another principle to the sin cursed self. The ultimate expression of jealousy is to see that God's hand of favor is no longer resting and abiding on you, but that His hand of favor is resting on those who rest in His beloved Son, whom His favor exclusively rests. A persons jealousy arises when they see their efforts, riches and merits of their own good works is not acceptable in God's eyes and never enough to please God, but always fall short of pleasing God. Jealousy, like Cain's, who killed his brother Abel, arose in Cain, because God accepted Abel's sacrifice over Cain's, and Cain saw God's favor rest upon Abel, so Cain killed his brother. The Jealousy factor arises in us when we see that our trust and confidence in our sin cursed self does not merit God's favor, but rather is a great cause for God's disfavor and judgment and rejection. Jealousy arises when God's favor rests on those who places confidence in Jesus Christ for whom God the Father's favor rests. Hence, You become jealous because God has rejected you in the confidence of your flesh, and points you to believe on His son for whom His favor rests, and you refuse to do so, because of your self-righteous pride; hence, like the self-righteous scribes and Pharisees you reject Jesus Christ and crucify the Lord of glory for whom God the Father's favor subsides and rests.
