Hebrews 12:28-29

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29 NIV

This world and all that it contains is subject to shaking – by earthquakes, stock markets, corruption, war and natural disasters, but the kingdom being established in our hearts and to come is being built by a master builder and cannot be shaken. God is holy and He shakes and consumes that which is not holy for our God is a consuming fire. In our lives He will consume that which is not holy. This burning process is not always pleasant but the end result is holy sons and daughters of the most High God whose desire is to please and serve Him with clean hands and a pure heart.


For my part I would prefer to get rid of that which is unholy rather than have God consume it! God is not casual or relaxed about sin, which is why we should approach Him with reverence and awe and seek to live holy lives through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us.
