"Present your bodies a living sacrifice..." Romans
Nothing could be more destructive than fire. It reduces everything to ashes. At least with a flood or theft, there is usually something left behind to salvage, but with a fire there is nothing left, nothing but ashes.
So are we in Him. Not just a washing with water, but a fire of the Spirit, burning up all hope of the Old Man. There is nothing of the Old Man worth saving! We are new creatures in a New Creation and we are to forget those things that are behind (in our past lives). And arise to walk in newness of life. Some try to hold on to the past, having loved that world, remember Lot's wife. But others confess themselves to be pilgrims and strangers in this present land, and confess that they are looking for that land where King Jesus will sit on the throne for 1,000 years! Blessed be that day!
Nothing of the old life has power over me, I have passed thru the water and the fire. I am a NEW CREATURE in Christ Jesus.
Be blessed.
