BUILDING A FIRE

When you build a fire, it's usually followed by heat.
Then following the heat, you will see smoke drifting up and away.

When you are saved, it's similar to building a fire.

The fire is God's gift of Grace to You.
It's already built. You don't have to do anything, but enjoy the fire!
The fire of Grace is followed by the heat of the works that you will
want to do for the Lord, as your expression of appreciation for that
"Fire of Grace". You won't be able to help yourself!
The smoke?
The smoke is that pleasing aroma drifting up to the Lord and
sometimes it will even linger over other campers and campsites.
When this happens, you can help them warm up at their camp site,
using God's kindling!
