Fire in God's House: Imagery from Malachi 3 in Peter's Theology of Suffering (1 Peter 4:12-19)
This article examines how Peter in 1 Peter 4:12-19 uses the imagery of Malachi 3 of the Lord coming as the refiner's fire to refine his servants. By using this imagery Peter identifies believers as the new temple of God, and encourages them in their suffering.
