The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Divine Fire, #3
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone [burning sulfur] in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: (Revelation 14:10)
Perhaps the Lake of Fire is in the interior of the earth. One can notice in the country of Iceland the sulfurous fumes that issue from the earth in certain places.
We are called to live in the Divine fire.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Isaiah 33:14)
Our God is a Fire. The Divine fire always is a torment to the sinners and hypocrites in Zion, to all the fleshly endeavors of mankind, and to all the wicked.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: (Matthew 3:11)
All Must Pass Through the Fire
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (I Corinthians 3:11-13)
"Every man's work . . . shall be revealed by fire." Every man's work!
The only sure foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ. Every person on earth is invited to build his life on the one foundation.
What we build is character—Christ-filled character in ourselves and Christ-filled character in others. Nothing else can be built that is of any eternal worth. The only structure we can bring with us after we leave this temporary probational period on earth is our character, our personality.
We can follow the Holy Spirit as He forms Christ in us. Or we can give ourselves to the appetites and passions of our body and soul.
If we sow to the Holy Spirit we will reap the gold, silver, and precious stones of the character of Christ. If we sow to our flesh and soul we will reap the wood, hay, and straw of the adamic personality.
The Divine fire of God will test every person's work. If the individual has sown to the Spirit of God, taking up his cross and following Christ, the gold and silver will be made more pure. The precious stones will be cleansed of all contamination and will sparkle with increased beauty.
To be continued.
