There are attributes that are common and on my own, I can come up with a few. God is an all consuming fire. God a consuming fire because He is a powerful, all-seeing God who can consume everything in His path, like how the fire came down from heaven and the Lord’s glory filled the temple (2 Chronicles 7:1). He has the authority to burn and consume not only the earth and all of its inhabitants but also the heavens.
