The apostle Paul exhorted the Romans to be ablaze with the Spirit (Romans 12:11). The Bible often describes God’s presence as a fire, and the Holy Spirit is like a fire that burns within believers. The principle is also expressed in the Old Testament, wherein it is commanded that the fire on the altar be kept burning (Leviticus 6:12-13). How do we keep the fire ablaze? One way is through good works that evidence the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Another way is to follow the Holy Spirit’s direction and guidance (Galatians 5:25) rather than quench it (1 Thessalonians 5:19). Would you describe yourself as ablaze with the Holy Spirit?
