He is a jealous God...i know it may be hard to understand at first, but he's only jealous for one thing, our love....
Exodus 20:5 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;
He has given man free will to choose to love him or go their own way. He can't/won't make us love him, a love he is jealous for...he's created us to have fellowship with himself...it's his desire to save/have fellowship with everyone of us....too bad satan/the world have made sure that there is only "few" that will actually accept his love and turn to him.
Sorry... God is a jealous God. Still, He won't let His desire for the human race overcome His justice. He will punish sin, but He sent His son to allow Christians to pass his just judgement.

“I will bring (them)...through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘This is My people,’
And each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
Zechariah 13:9
