Love does not envy

Don’t confuse envy with God’s Jealousy.   As a husband or wife is rightfully jealous when another person is intimately involved with their mate, so is God.  Again this is because of His Love for us.   Now envy says you want what somebody else has.  The devil tried to tempt Jesus with all the kingdoms of the world.   Of course, God could take charge of the entire world and force us to be His subjects, but His Love for us restrains Him.
