What does it mean that Christians are 'not consumed'?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'not consumed' means Christians are saved from eternal judgment and condemnation through Christ.

The phrase 'not consumed' in Malachi 3:6 highlights the security of God's elect. This does not imply a physical preservation but a spiritual state where believers, though they are sinners, are redeemed and justified through Christ's sacrifice. Those who are in Christ are assured that their sins cannot lead to condemnation, as Romans 8:1 declares: 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' This assurance is rooted in God's immutable nature and the promises of the covenant established in Christ, affirming that believers will not face spiritual destruction.
