Hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.

Study Note
'Our God is a consuming fire' — cited from Deuteronomy 4:24, the verse concludes Hebrews 12's eschatological warning about refusing the one who speaks from heaven, attaching the most awesome divine attribute to the God of the new covenant. The context (Hebrews 12:18–29) contrasts Mount Sinai's terrifying phenomena with Mount Zion's eschatological assembly, concluding that the new covenant's higher privilege creates more, not less, cause for reverent awe. The fire imagery in Deuteronomy originally described YHWH's holiness consuming what is incompatible with divine purity; Hebrews applies it to the judgment that will shake everything not belonging to the unshakable kingdom. The verse challenges any sentimentalized reading of the new covenant as eliminating divine holiness in favor of pure grace.
