The Consuming Fire of God's Love … for our “God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:29 God’s Love Is Consuming God’s love is consuming, much like a fire. Strike a match and you can watch the whole match head burn. But the fire—like God’s love—does not stop there. The fire eventually consumes the entire matchstick. God’s love is like that. God’s Love Permeates All God wants you to know what it’s like to be consumed by His love. There is nothing you can put up as a barrier that can withstand God’s love; His love permeates all. Everything succumbs to His fire—His unrelenting love and loyalty to you.
