As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called upon to offer our bodies as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1), engulfed by the divine gift: the inextinguishable fire of the Holy Spirit. At the very beginning of the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is associated with fire. John the Baptist predicts that Jesus will be the One to “baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (Matthew 3:11).
Bilang mga mananampalataya ng Panginoong HesuKristo, tinatawag tayo upang ialay ang ating mga sarili bilang "handog na buhay" (Roma 12:1), na tinutupok ng apoy na kaloob ng Diyos: ang hindi namamatay na apoy ng Banal na Espiritu.
