Introduction: Galatians 2:20 Philippians 3:7-12 Titus 2:11-14 Romans 5:19-6:2
Main proposition: The demons have a much more convincing belief in God than many in the church today have, because demons have a very real belief in God, knowing, unlike many in the church, that they are under His judgment for their rebellion against Him, and it horrifies them
Several propositions concerning “demon faith”
First, those who cite as evidence for their salvation their belief in one God have no more evidence for their salvation than the demons do
How we know that Satan and he demons believe in one God:
#1: Satan and his demons were present at God’s creation Job 38:6-7
#2: Satan and his demons are in heaven in God’s presence Job 1:6; 2:1; 1 Kings 22:20-22; Rev 12:4
#3: Satan and his demons have continually tried to thwart God’s plan of redemption
Gen 3:15; 1 John 3:10; 3:11-12; Gen 4:25 Eph 2:2; Gen 12:1-3; 17:9; 28:3-4 2 Kings 11:14; Luke 23:37
Second, those who cite as their only evidence for their salvation their belief in one God have less of an understanding of biblical doctrine than demons do
Where we see the great biblical knowledge of Satan and the demons:
#1: The superior knowledge of Satan and the demons can be seen in Satan’s temptation in the garden
#2: Satan’s knowledge in the temptation of Christ
Temptation #1 Matt 4:1-4
Temptation #2 Matt 4:5-7; Psalm 91:11
Temptation #3 Matt 4:8-10
#3: The superior knowledge of Satan and the demons can be seen in their knowledge of biblical doctrine
A. The doctrine of Scripture Genesis 2:16-17; 3:1
B. The doctrine of the Trinity James 1:27;2:1; 5:4, 7, 9, 10
