The devil and even the demons fear Jesus they believe him. The key word is trust and obey that's where it sets you apart

[markmorris]

Believe (trust in, cling to, rely on)

[victoriavs]

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In case anyone finds this helpful or is interested in praying for our Christian like Sean McDowell:

16 prayer points you can pray for them:

1
You can pray that they will always have a good walk with God (that they will not forget their first love), that God will bless their daily private Bible reading and prayer life, and that they will have good sound doctrine.

2
You can pray that they will be full of the Holy Spirit and that God will bless their ministries so that many more people will come to faith in Jesus for God’s glory, and that they will feed God’s sheep and disciple them properly.

3
You can pray that they will be humble, that they will remember how many Christian leaders in the past have fallen, and that they will have a very healthy fear of the Lord.

4
You can pray that God will protect them and the ministry God has given them from:
Pride
Love of fame
Love of money
Desire for the approval of people rather than the approval of God
Being worried about offending people
Compromising God’s Word
Sexual temptation
Demonic attacks
Persecution (from outside the Church and inside the Church)

5
You can pray for their PHYSICAL HEALTH and that God will heal all their health problems.

6
You can pray for their MENTAL HEALTH. Pastors and Christian workers often have stress and battle discouragement and depression. Please God touch them and heal them of all mental and emotional problems and distress.
They can also sometimes be hurt by the people they serve or by other Christian leaders - so we can pray that this won’t happen but that if it does that God will heal these wounds and strengthen His servants to forgive each other and that God will restore unity for His Glory.

7
You can pray that God will bless and protect their families.
Satan often attacks Christian workers by attacking their loved ones.
So you can pray that their family members will all have a good walk with God, have good sound doctrine, that God will protect them all from demonic attacks, that God will also bless and protect their physical and mental health, heal them of all infirmities, and that God will bless all their family relationships so that there is peace and love in their families.
You can pray that God especially blesses and protects all areas and parts of their marriages, so that they will not be tempted to look elsewhere.
Also please God bless their marriages especially so that they can be a model and example for other Christians.

8
You can pray that God will abundantly bless and protect the finances of the ministries and also the personal finances of God’s servants (especially finances needed for health or medical expenses).
You can pray that they always have abundant finances so that they can always do every good work God wants them to do.

9
You can pray that God blesses and protects the relationships between Christian co-workers in ministries - so that no jealousy or strife or bitterness takes root. That they will all have Christian unity and that their focus will be on God getting all the glory and rejoice in any and all work for God.

10
You can pray that God prevents any technical or logistical or legal or any type of problems for their ministry, but if they have any such issues/problems that God will help them resolve/fix and totally solve and remove these problems.

11
If it’s an internet (e.g. YouTube) ministry you can pray that God will help the videos spread on those platforms and get many views and that God will use the videos to bring many people to repentance and faith in Jesus.

12
You can pray that God will help Christian leaders be good shepherds of Jesus’ sheep and continue to feed Jesus’ sheep, and that they will not only convert people, but also disciple new converts so that they can grow and develop and mature in a healthy and supported way.

13
You can pray that God will give them the heart of a servant.

14
You can pray that God gives them wisdom and helps them and powerfully guides them when making all decisions and plans.

15
You can pray that if they make mistakes or sin that God will grant them humility and repentance and restore them.

16
You can pray that more Christians will pray consistently for Christian


You could make a list of pastors/ministries you want to support and pray for them regularly.

Jesus said:

“ when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will REWARD you.”
Matthew 6:6

Believing there’s a GOD and BELIEVING GOD are two different things

[Chely_Celly]

GOD Bless!! GOD and JESUS Love you all and everyone !!Amen

The Nitty Gritty of The Bible (Gospel) is " The world is going to perish, save yourself and your family and...save as many others as you can..."

[greatfilmmaker]

If you love anybody you will try to please them

[johnnyjohnson]

And his commands are to believe in him and love one another

Dear Sean - both the Marvel comics and Marvel movies now sadly openly push and promote active homosexuality.

Do you think Christians should distance themselves from appearing to condone/support what Marvel is now standing for?

[dalex]

Can’t this god just reveal himself and get it over with?!?

[chrisyunge]

Gentiles, numbers uncounted will be saved, all by belief, just as leaven leaven the whole lump, so the holy spirit will guide us into all truth, as Paul wrote, from glory to glory.!!!😀❤🇺🇸

[oflunrazeuqram]

Faith is the least reliable path to truth.

[kbittar]

To believe means to esteem the SOURCE. You can believe Satan if you want to... God will not interfere with your choice.

[stevenhamblin]

just say if its by works or deeds of the law

[mickqQ]

What rules?
The rules according to which people?
Which god(s)?

You can’t follow god(s) because gods do not exist.
You can follow a theology and try to live by that.

Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
‭‭
Faith/believe alone in Christ alone is how someone is saved. not faith in Christ + works/obedience.

[gustavotoledo]

How can I believe that some medicine is good for me but not try it?

[franklatona]

In the Gospels Jesus exhorts us to be children of God. what child or children runs their own life. Children depend on their parents for their survival. We are to be obedient children of our Father. If that sounds simplistic it's because it is.

[djustaviewer]

when you show the world a god is real, , maybe we will jail him for all the murders he has done, but lucky for us gods are not real, , you use gods only to make money
