Gideon's faith is tested by God as he faces an approaching army of 135,000. God wants to show Gideon if his faith is real or manufactured, and to strengthen his faith so that he might fulfill his purpose in life.

God is jealous to be our only God, to be our only real object of worship because He passionately loves us and He knows what is good for us. The opposite of love would be apathy. God is angry because He was passionately in love with us the way the Father loves a son and the way that the husband loves a bride.
