What does the fire represent about God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Fire symbolizes God's judgment, consuming the unrighteous while simultaneously purifying and protecting His people.

Fire is often a strong biblical metaphor for God's judgment. It signifies both the purifying presence of God and the consuming wrath against sin. In Deuteronomy 9:3, God is described as a consuming fire that destroys His enemies, illustrating His holiness and justice against unrighteousness. However, this consuming fire also serves to protect and refine His elect, ensuring that while judgment is executed, mercy is shown to those chosen by grace. The sermon highlights that even in judgment, there is grace shown to God’s people, as He cleanses them from all that would hinder His purpose.
