AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well [to believe that]. The demons also believe [that], and shudder and bristle [in awe-filled terror--they have seen His wrath]! [Deut 6:4; 11:13-21; Mark 12:29] |
Bible Question:
Since the demons believe that God is one, why aren't they saved? -Is it because of their lack of works (context of the verse)? What has believing that God is one do do with salvation? |
Bible Answer: When someone allows Satan to rule their souls, they become inflicted with all sorts of evil(demons). If you read Matthew 10:8 you will know that God brings salvation to all who seek it. When bad cells take over a body the body begins to deteriorate. And so the battle begins as who will win out the good cells or the bad cells. If the bad cells win the body dies. And so its the same with the soul. Just like a good doctor God will be there to help you with the battle, but if the evil in you wins, your soul will not be saved. |
