Hebrews 12:29 meaning and explanation
“For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:29, Berean Standard Bible

The writer closes a long argument about covenant and endurance by quoting Deuteronomy 4:24, where Moses described the God of Israel as a consuming fire. Here it is not a threat against enemies but the final note of a call to worship: the kingdom we receive cannot be shaken, so reverence and awe are the fitting response.
