How does faith quench the violence of fire?

Answered in 1 source

Faith does not extinguish trials but provides assurance and strength to endure them.

True faith does not eliminate the fiery trials that believers face; instead, it quenches the violence associated with those trials. The experience of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego illustrates how their faith kept them from being harmed in the fire, as they walked unharmed with the presence of God. The actual fire remained, but its destructive power was mitigated by their faith. Believers today may face various forms of trials, but through faith, they can withstand the accompanying anguish and fear, knowing that God is with them and will bring them through. This assurance transforms the experience of trials into opportunities for spiritual growth and reliance on God's grace.
