because it made from fruit, and once the seal on the jar is broken, air will begin the spoiling process. the seal on the jar keeps air out, allowing it to stay fresh until opened. When making homemade jellies, hot wax is poured over the jelly before the lid is applied to keep air out and keep it from spoiling
ps. try running your knife under hot water before using, this willl help to spread easier

Some molds can produce toxins at room temperature (jelly jars stored in cupboards), and these toxins migrate throughout soft foods (jelly, jam). Long-term consumption of these mold products is linked to the incidence of some cancers. Therefore, it is recommended that soft, moldy food not be consumed. If you have a jar of jelly that has molded at room temperature, discard the entire jar.
Store jams and jellies in a cool, dry place; the
shorter the storage time, the better the eating quality of
the product. After the jelly has been opened, it should be
refrigerated.

It depends on the jelly. I have had jelly out of the fridge for long periods and it did not get mould.

The high sugar content means that it will mold very quickly if it's not refrigerated.

The same reason fruit would rot/mold if you left it out.
