Now we have seen that God--by His Spirit, or influence--is everywhere; that he pervades the universe of His Creation; that his nature is eternal and indestructible, while all else--save man's immortal nature derived from God--is destructible. We are plainly told in the Bible that the _Spirit of God is fire_; that _His Word is fire_; that He is like a _refiner's fire_--even as a purifier of silver. That every man's work shall be tried _by fire_; the righteous saved as by _fire_; that, to his people, He will be as _a wall of fire_; and though they pass through the fire they shall not be burned; neither shall the flames kindle upon them. And yet our God is a _consuming fire_, before whom the wicked shall not stand. That the _fire_ of His anger, and His _wrath_, shall be kindled against them, when all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall be cast into the fire that will never be quenched; whose flames shall ascend up forever and ever. Oh, how plain the revelations of God as to the immortality of the soul, and a future state of existence! The righteous to enter into, and enjoy eternal life; the wicked--who are dead in trespasses and in sins--to enter into eternal death, even the "death that never dies." How _startling_ the fact of these plain revelations! God is now made manifest to our daily and hourly comprehension. How dare we trifle with Him, and our own soul's immortal interest? We are daily and hourly rushing on to our own eternal destiny. Ere another year, a month, a week or day is past, we may realize that "it is not all of life to live, nor yet of death to die." No one can escape the eternal fiat of Jehovah, "_dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return_." As death leaves the body so judgment finds the soul. "The righteous shall inherit eternal life;" "the wicked shall be driven away from the presence of God, and from the glory of His power," and take up their abode with tormenting devils "in everlasting burnings." Stop, poor wandering child of sin; yield obedience to the requirements of God's law; "acknowledge Him in all thy ways, and He shall direct thy paths." The Psalmist tells us that "_the Lord God is a Sun_." Saint John tells us that, while in the Spirit, it was revealed to him that the "_burning lamps of fire were spirits of God_." Now remember that we have told you that the vast volume of flame of _ethereal fire outside_ and _around_ the heavenly world, is all that we can see or comprehend as the _Sun_; that flame is the source of all _light_, heat, and animation: hence, considered in connexion with its offices, may we not safely conclude that it is an _attribute of Jehovah_?
