God's Glory As Devouring Fire

- David Platt connects that image to Jesus and the New Testament reality of God's presence with us.
From Distant Awe To Intimate Access
- Jesus embodies the consuming presence of God and the Spirit continues that presence among believers.
- Platt highlights that believers now have access to God rather than needing to stand far off.
We Are God's Dwelling Place
- Through Jesus and the Spirit, God's presence dwells within believers and their bodies are temples.
