OUR FATHER WHO IS A CONSUMING FIRE

The book of Hebrews chapter 13 verses 25 - 29 continues with the concept of the greater connection with heavenly realities and how these realities, compared to the old earthly covenant made it even more urgent that we treat the things of God with reverence and Godly fear for in the greater privilege given to us, the requirement is that we not be ones who vassilates in our faith but rather be steadfast for the all things in heaven and earth will be shaken and that which remains will abide forever and it is good to keep in mind that God is a consuming fire.

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Amen.
