The third category of sinfulness has to do with our relationships to others . It has to do with a lack of love. It is the area of dissension and jealousy. Strife and jealousy come from a selfish competitiveness. Love is precisely the opposite.
Love seeks the best for the other.
Strife and jealousy betray a lack of love. Our selfish desire for ambition causes us to create discord and dissention, jealousy and covetousness. But the Christian lifestyle should be characterized by love for all people. Instead of striving to stir up, we should be seeking to build up one another. On the positive side, we are called to clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
