'FIRE: ANOTHER ELEMENT DESCRIBING OUR GOD'(PART 2)...WRAPPING UP THE SERIES

Drawing this series to a close, we end on this FIRE note.

From the New testament, Fire appears mainly as an DOOMSFUL element either used to portray the Lord’sJUDGEMENT or his fearful side. A look into the new testament now: 

* ...This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire (2Thess1:7)
-Depart from me,you who are cursed into the eternal fire prepare for the devil& his angels. (Matt.25:41)

-FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE (Hebrews 12:29)
-Other verses:(Matt.7:19,13:40,5:22, Hebrews 12:18, Mark 9:45, Luke 17:29, 2 Pet.3:12, Jude1:7)

*Another aspect is its famous domestic side-good servant but a bad master.
-It served as a source of light in Luke 23:55-56

-Matthew 17:15 tells of a woman who son suffered from seizures from falling into fire.
(Other  verses are:Acts 28:3, John18:18,)

Our main focus is however from these . The fire of God represents God's PRESENCE, PASSION and his PURITY.

Matthew 3:11-12
I baptize you with water... But after me comes one who is more powerful than I... He will baptize with the Holy Spirit& fire.

In Acts 2, we find  the Holy Spirit appearing as tongues on fire on the Apostles.
(Beloved, God's PRESENCE is the  greatest we could ever receive because his presence=Spirit=God himself is all we ever in our time now) 

* One of the things his Fire does to us after infilling us is to give us zeal&passion to continue to do his work. An unquenchable fire which need to kept aflame at all times. ()

*Then, he continues to bless us with Baptism by fire. We are made anew spiritually but physically many fleshly things have taken roots which ought to be uprooted

Purging us unto Purity. (1Pet1:7)

His work will shown for what it is...it will be revealed by fire and the fire will test the quality of every man's work. (1 Cor.3:13)

In all, these are what these elements WATER,LIGHT,AIR, ,LAND,OIL&today FIRE do to our faith. 

As I intimated earlier and has been  proven, the above elements ONLY DESCRIBE &can't be equated to our God.  The Holy Spirit is what can be equated to God.

(Preparing a series on the HOLY SPIRIT ELEMENTS...Watch out)

SO I SAY:
ALL THESE ELEMENTS DESCRIBE OUR GOD.
A WRAP ON THE SERIES. HOPE YOU WERE BLESSED.
