names of God: Refiner's Fire by ric gustafson
Malachi 3:2- ' for he is like a refiner's fire'
This term refers to God the Son. A refiner is someone who heats metal that has been mined. The refiner then removes its impurities. Jesus, like a refiner's fire, purifies us too. In this passage, Malachi is warning the priests in the Temple that they need to start living what they are teaching.
Metals do not come in a pure state. The metal needs to go through a smelting process and then the iron becomes stronger. We need Jesus the refiner's fire to purify us and make us stronger.
