“Then I said, ‘I will not make mention of Him, nor speak

anymore in His name.’ But His word was in my heart like a

burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back,

and I could not.”(Jeremiah 20:9)

"Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord…”

(Jeremiah 23:29)

How Is God’s Word Like Fire?

1. God’s Word gives light (Psa.119:105; Acts 26:12-20).

2. God’s Word comforts us and provides warmth (Psa.119:50).

3. God’s Word penetrates (Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17; Acts 2:37; 7:54).

4. God’s Word purifies (John 15:3; Eph.5:25-27; 1 Pet.1:22).

5. God’s Word destroys (2 Thess.1:7-9).
