A number of Old Testament passages help us understand the Holy Spirit as fire in the New Testament.
Primarily fire represents the presence of God, as when Moses encountered God at the burning bush, and later when God appeared in a pillar of fire to lead his people in the wilderness (Exodus 3:2; 13:21).
In Acts, the tongues of fire represent the presence of God the Holy Spirit.
This fulfills John the Baptist’s prophecy that the Messiah would baptize “with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Matthew 3:11-12). This also means that the purifying work of the Holy Spirit carries on in our lives today.
The Spirit comes into our lives to transform us, cleansing and purifying us to become more like Christ in our daily living.
