Salted, tried and refined by fire
Salted by fire or burned with fire. Which one are you?
Tested and tried, perfected and purified. That should be the case for every Christian. If not, then burned with fire is the judgement that awaits those who deny our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 12:29 - For our God is a consuming fire.
We know that when we appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ 1 Corinthians 3:13 - 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.
In the meantime, the Godly fire is at work in our lives perfecting and purifying us.
Mark 9:49 - For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Trying us:
1 Peter 1:7 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Purifying us:
1 Peter 1:22 - Seeing ye have purified
We know that gold is purified in fire Revelation 3:18 - I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
But those who deny God shall be burned with fire.
Revelation 18:8 - Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Salted with Fire or Burned with Fire.
Which one are you? Think about it.
Thank the Lord who prayed for us that when tested and tried our faith would not perish.
EX: Did you know that when you fire a pot, all the impurities in the clay are burned away? That's why China pots (which are fired 7 times to get an extremely fine and delicate pot) sound like crystal bells when you tap them.
Did you also know that if you a have a messed-up pot that has hardened and you want to remold it, you have to wash it and soak it in water so that it crumbles and forms a moldable cake?
anyways....your post made me remember all this--being salted, tried, and refined by fire is the best thing that could happen to us--because then we know that God is perfecting us for His glory.
ill remember that
