God is a Consuming Fire

16 December 2024

The divine word says that our God is a "consuming fire" and that "he draws rivers of fire before him." He even enters a "refiner's fire and as a fuller's herb" to purify his own people. But when he is said to be a " consuming fire," we inquire what are the things which are appropriate to be consumed by God. And we assert that they are wickedness, and the works which result from it.

        Origen
