James 2:18-19
18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder.
What is belief? What is faith? The Bible says that even the demons believe and they shudder. What they have is an understanding and knowledge of the fact that there is one God – they have actually seen Him. What they do not have is a life committed to that one God. They have never trusted in that one God nor have they given their lives to Him.
Jesus Christ came to die for all mankind but people still ignore His sacrifice and still refuse to give their life to Him. They may understand what Jesus did or at least they can repeat what they have heard but a person who truly believes – trusts in God with all they have – they give their life to Him.
I have heard that the greatest distance in all of human kind is the distance from the head to the heart – many understand but few commit their lives to God. What do you believe?
