Standing Before a Jealous God?

If God is a jealous God, as He self-describes¹; and if by jealous, He means:

1. very watchful or careful in guarding or keeping
...
3. requiring exclusive loyalty
...
5. solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something
...
6. Bible: intolerant of unfaithfulness or rivalry²

then what is He being vigilant or careful in guarding or keeping? Could it be His character, perfections, and attributes that define Him as God³? BUT, even as much, might it be to carefully guard the co-eternal Spirit of Light and Truth⁴? Isn't that what we do when we love someone or something? We are both jealous and zealous to guard and defend them from disparagement, damage, defamation, or destruction?

So, does God expect us to be as jealous and zealous in guarding His gifts to us? in defending our rights and freedoms? our bodily integrity? our moral integrity? And if we are not jealous for those things, what is the consequence?

When we stand before the pleading bar of God will there be evidence that we trusted in Him? that we gave Him our exclusive loyalty? that we refused to trust in the arm of flesh? that we were solicitous and vigilant in maintaining and guarding our gifts, our freedoms, our body temple⁵? that we awoke to a sense of our awful situation before it was too late⁶? that we passed the three temptations?⁷ And if we failed in any measure, is there evidence that we have sincerely sought forgiveness?

In this age of lying wonders,⁸ let us be as jealous for Light and Truth as God is. And if we feel anger when we witness unchecked injustice, bullying, power abuse, corruption, and repetitious mendacity beyond imagination, it means we share in God's jealousy for Light and Truth.

If we do a compound word-search in scripture for God AND anger, or God AND wrath, we will understand the consequence for failing to stand on guard.

1. Examples from scripture (all bold emphasis added.):
Old Testament | Exodus 20:1-5
   1 AND God spake all these words, saying,
   2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
   3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
   4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
   5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Old Testament | Exodus 34:12-14
   12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
   13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
   14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Old Testament | Joshua 24:19-21
   19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
   20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
   21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.
Old Testament | Deuteronomy 4:24; see also Deut. 5:9
   24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Book of Mormon | Mosiah 11:21-23; see also Mosiah 13:13
   21 And except they repent and turn to the Lord their God, behold, I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; yea, and they shall be brought into bondage; and they shall be afflicted by the hand of their enemies.
   22 And it shall come to pass that they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of my people.
   23 And it shall come to pass that except this people repent and turn unto the Lord their God, they shall be brought into bondage; and none shall deliver them, except it be the Lord the Almighty God.

3. Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:102
   102 Glory, and honor, and power, and might,
Be ascribed to our God; for he is full of mercy,
Justice, grace and truth, and peace,
Forever and ever, Amen.
Doctrine and Covenants 1835 | Lectures on Faith: Lecture Third
the same yesterday, today, and forever; long-suffering, slow to anger, forgiving, merciful, gracious, abundant in goodness, truthful, just, no respecter of persons, loving, and so forth
Book of Mormon | Alma 42:12-13; 22-25 (Bold emphasis added.)
   12 And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state, which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience;
   13 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God. ...
   22 But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
   23 But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice.
   24 For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.
   25 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God.
Book of Mormon | Mormon 9:19
   19 And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.
4. Doctrine and Covenants | Section 93:28-40
   28 He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things.
   29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.
   30 All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.
   31 Behold, here is the agency of man, and here is the condemnation of man; because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light.
   32 And every man whose spirit receiveth not the light is under condemnation.
   33 For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;
   34 And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy.
   35 The elements are the tabernacle of God; yea, man is the tabernacle of God, even temples; and whatsoever temple is defiled, God shall destroy that temple.
   36 The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
   37 Light and truth forsake that evil one.
   38 Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.
   39 And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.
   40 But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.

6. Book of Mormon | Ether 8:23-25
   23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
   24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
   25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.

8. New Testament | 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
   8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
   9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
   10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
