Almighty God & Gospel Girl Ep. 33 | Fire
Fire can be mysterious and mesmerizing. It can represent a chemical reaction that releases light and heat. It can represent combustion and even desire. There’s no doubt that fire is needed for us humans to create and even destroy. It can be used for warmth, light, and even refining. But what does the Bible say about Fire?
Beautiful day You Ministries family, this is Almighty God and Gospel Girl Podcast and today we will be talking about Fire!
In the Old Testament, we can read that rituals of animal sacrifices use fire to consume burnt offerings. The burning of sacrificial meat with fire is described as “a soothing aroma to the LORD” (Lev 23:18; Num 28:13,24; 29:6, 13).
Fire also has practical Biblical uses, for example, in Zechariah 13:9, God is a refiner who brings the Israelites “through the fire” in order to “refine them as silver is refined” (see also Mal 3:2). Fire is pictured as a purifying agent in people’s lives. Proverbs 17:3 clarifies the relationship of fire with spiritual refinement: “The crucible is for refining silver and the smelter of gold, but the one who purifies hearts by fire is the LORD.” Throughout the Bible, we see the presence of God physically manifested as fire.
There are also the fires of judgment which demonstrates God’s anger and righteous judgment over humanity. In Deuteronomy, God’s supremacy over false idols is demonstrated as fire: “The LORD your God is a raging fire, a God who does not tolerate rivals” (4:24). In stories such as the condemnation of Sodom and Gomorrah, we see fire used in God’s punishment for sin (Gen 19:24). In the last days, fire is pictured as a tool of judgment that both burns up the dross and purifies the holy: “The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done. If what a person has built survives, he will receive a reward. If his work is burned up, he will suffer the loss.
As Christians, it’s important that we become aware of the meaning of fire in our physical and spiritual life. Blessedly, this episode should help you understand and gain more wisdom regarding fire.
Enjoy and….
Have a wonderful day!
