The Fire Of Purification – In Trials
When we are faithful to the Lord Jesus in our Christian calling. we often go through fiery trials to test and prove us. Fire in the bible often represents God’s dealings with us to help us, bless us and purify us in any trial. God is described as a refining fire purifying the sons of Levi, (Mal x;x). God uses “ fiery trials” to purify and perfect us .
1 Pet 4: 12 to 14 – Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory. 14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Men put gold in a furnace to purify it. Any impurities in the gold ( the dross) dissolves, floats to the surface where it can be removed. The book of James instructs us to actually ‘ rejoice’ and welcome trials because they perfect us.. They are like the fire that purifies gold.
James 1: 2 to 4 – Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
There is a beautiful and dynamic section of scripture in Psalm 66 where God describes the final blessings of those that go through the “fire of purification” , enduring various trials for The Lords sake.
Psa 66: 10 to 12 – You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver. 11You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs. 12You let men ride over our heads; we went THROUGH FIRE and water, – but You brought us into abundance!

The Judgement Seat of Christ
The imagery of fire also represents God’s judgment against sin or his discipline to correct us. The scriptures make it clear that
The Great white Throne Judgement
As I said earlier, Fire is also a symbol of God’s judgement.. At the end of. ‘ the millenium (that is the thousand year reign of Christ on earth) there will be a judgement of the wicked dead. This is the “Great White Throne Judgment”. This will be the time when all those who were opposed to God will be cast into the Lake of Fire. This will be forever and ever – eternal punishment.
The Bible tells us that there are books with the names of the wicked dead and they will be judged according to their deeds and thrown into the Lake of fire.. However, there is another book which is the book of life and within this book will be the names of every person on earth who has been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and washed from their sins and forgiven.Those in the book of life.Will have eternal life.
Rev 20: 12 to 15 – I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And books were opened, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds. 14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
God’s heart burns with love for each man and woman on planet earth.. He is unwilling that anybody should perish but that all should come to repentance.. God has moved heaven and earth to save mankind by sending his precious Son to suffer and die for the sins of the world. But for those that have rejected the Lord and His grace and mercy, God will have no choice but to send those to eternal perdition.. God is not only a God of mercy, but He is also a just God who must act according to His just nature.
