What does the Bible say about the fire sent by Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

In Luke 12:49, Jesus states that He came to send fire on the earth, symbolizing the truth of the Gospel that creates division.

In Luke 12:49-53, Jesus emphasizes that His coming to send fire signifies the division caused by the Gospel. This 'fire' represents the truth of God's Word, which can ignite passionate responses among people. It provides both hope and division: hope for those who believe and division among those who reject His message. The New Testament affirms this understanding of fire as the presence of God, which refines believers and consumes those resistant to His truth.
