Trey Knowles: Love Does Not Envy - Truth & Knowledge

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 57 – “Love Does Not Envy”

In this episode, Trey Knowles delves into the destructive nature of envy, reminding us that where envy exists, love cannot. Envy, or resentfulness, stems from a desire to possess what belongs to someone else—what Scripture calls coveting. This desire, when left unchecked, leads to bitterness, wickedness, and separation from the spirit of God, who is love.

Trey explains that the Hebrew word for covet can also mean lust—a strong craving for what is forbidden. When a person allows such desire to rule their heart, it results in disobedience and harm, echoing the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden. Their longing for what God had forbidden brought lasting consequences for all humanity.

Through this teaching, Trey reminds us that true love rejoices in others’ blessings rather than envies them, and that walking in love keeps us aligned with God’s heart.
