A Haiku on Hell
Scripture tells us that
God is a Consuming Fire,
and that God is Love.
Scripture tells us that
God is a Consuming Fire,
and that God is Love.
The Consuming Fire of God and the Love of God are not two opposing forces which must be somehow balanced out, one against the other. It is, rather, two different ways of speaking about the same thing — the Divine Love poured out at the Cross.
It is the Divine Judgment condemning sin and evil, purging and cleansing us from it. It is Love in its chastening work, correcting and refining us, to deliver us from our false self and restore us to our True Self, which is Christ in us, and us in Christ.
