James Chapter 2 part 10
James 2:19
You believe that there is one God; you do well; the devils also believe, and tremble....
Today's verse is one of the most famous from the book of James- in this passage - James says its good that we believe in God - but also cautions that even the devils and evil ones know God is real - they are rebellious against God so they have to believe in Him to be rebellious to Him - you have heard it said there are no atheists in foxholes -but the truth of the matter there is - there are many who don't believe in God at all -they seem to think we are some kind of cosmic accident - with no purpose and no designer - we who have been saved and sanctified by the blood of JESUS know there is a God and we trust HIS SON with our salvation - HE came from Heaven to Earth to save that which was lost - its not enough to just believe with your head -its got to get into your heart - its good to believe in God - but that does not save us - its the blood from Jesus that accomplishes that - we cannot have it any other way - many do good deeds in hope that it will outweigh the bad they have done - while its good to good things - its not the end all -there must be a reason for the hope we have - there must be a reason why those who follow Christ are willing to lay down their lives instead of denying Him - Its good that we believe in God - but without the shed blood of JESUS - we are the most hopeless of all - what do you believe?
footnote: the enemy knows there is a God -that's why he hates HIM!
because of CHRIST......we are saved and set free forever!
