"He will baptize you with the
Holy Spirit and with fire..."
The Message
Fire by its pure, penetrating, all
consuming agency, symbolizes the holiness of God which consumes sin as a
thing that cannot abide in His presence (Hebrews 10:27; 12:29).
Believers in Jesus Christ are called to a purer way of living--not according
to the flesh.
"Do you see what we've got?
An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be?
Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God.
For God is not an indifferent bystander. He's actively cleaning house,
torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all cleansed.
God himself is Fire!"
