The Water and Oil of Faith

As Christian continues through the Interpreter’s House, he sees a roaring fire that cannot be extinguished, even as someone continually pours water on it. He learns that Satan seeks to destroy our faith, but Christ continually sustains and strengthens the faith He has begun in us.

Through the scene of the palace, we also learn that believers are called to actively fight the good fight of faith. Though we face opposition and spiritual battles, we must persevere with courage, trusting in Christ to preserve us.
