The jealousy of God involes God's jealousy for his glory and for the faithfulness of his people. Erik Thoennes explains that both are related, writing that "God is ultimately jealous for the faithfulness of his people because he is jealous for his own glory" (Godly Jealousy, p. 32, ephasis added). He goes on to say that "God's desire for glory drives his constant revelation of himself in the lives of his people. He wants to be known, and recognized for who he is, so that he will receive his deserved glory (p. 33).
