Pretty much everyone has heard that God is love. But some don’t realize that He is also a consuming fire. Isaiah calls us to tremble before Him: “Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?" (Isaiah 33:14).
Fortunately, God has provided the righteousness we need by sending Jesus Christ to shed His blood for the sins of all who would ever believe in Him. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31), but we need not fear the consuming fire of God’s wrath if we are covered by the purifying blood of Christ.
