Refining Fire | Malachi 3:1–6

Malachi paints a striking picture: “He is like a refiner’s fire and like fuller’s soap.” God’s presence doesn’t just comfort—it purifies. 

In this episode, we reflect on what it means for God to draw near as a refining fire. His love isn’t destructive but committed—burning away what doesn’t belong, restoring what’s worth saving. John the Baptist prepared the way for this kind of Messiah, and Jesus still comes to refine us with truth and mercy.

A fuller was someone who cleansed cloth with strong soap and agitation—another vivid image for spiritual cleansing.
