What does the Bible say about God as a consuming fire?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible declares that God is a consuming fire, emphasizing His nature as holy and just, and His judgment against sin.

In Hebrews 12:29, it is stated, 'For our God is a consuming fire.' This verse indicates not only God's power but also His holiness and judgment against sin. Throughout Scripture, this concept is reinforced, such as in Isaiah 45:5-6 where God asserts His singularity and authority, stating, 'I am the Lord, and there is none else.' This holiness calls for reverence and underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of atonement through Christ.
