KNOW FEAR, KNOW GOD: DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE (LEV. 10:1-10)

CONOCE EL TEMOR DE DIOS, CONOCE A DIOS: NO JUEGUES CON FUEGO
Can you imagine coming to a worship service and winding up dead? That is exactly what happened to two young men, Nadab and Abihu, who were priests unto the Lord. They offered unto God a strange fire, and the fire of the Lord came forth and consumed them, and they died. The reason is that they did not fear the Lord.

This story is intended to impress upon us the holiness of God. It teaches us that we be careful to come before God on His terms, not our terms. We cannot treat God lightly. It is intended to instill the fear of the Lord upon our hearts.
