God Attribute, 26

 ~ Fire ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Scripture  ~  “The glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel” (Exodus 24:17-18).

 

“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God” (Deuteronomy 4:24).

 

“Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire.  He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you” (Deuteronomy 9:3).

 

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.  For our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:28-29).

 

Comment  ~  The ultimate fire is in the future reserved for those who refuse to believe the truth.  However, that fire will be hotter than any we’ve known but it will NOT consume.  It will burn for eternity future.  Have you reserved your spot in eternity with God?
