Demons have faith. They believe. They believe in God, know his word, have seen him work, and have witnessed some of the most amazing miracles in history. Yet, their faith does not save. The Faith of Demons demonstrates that true saving faith must go beyond what is common to the demonic realm. Saving faith is not merely knowledge of certain facts.
The Faith of Demons answers questions such as:
* What do demons know? What have they experienced and witnessed?
* Why isn't their faith saving?
* What is self-examination? Why is it important that professing Christians examine themselves?
* What is sin? How does sin manifest itself in man? In religion?
* What are counterfeit gospels? What are some characteristics of false gospels?
* What are characteristics of false converts? What does false assurance look like?
* Does the Bible show religious people falling short of salvation?
* What is the gospel? How can a person be saved? What is salvation?
* What is true saving faith? What is repentance?
* What is the difference between the faith that a demon possesses and a true believer in Christ?
The Faith of Demons was written to unmask counterfeit gospels and expose the damning faith and false assurance that they produce. This is achieved by systematically identifying and describing these counterfeits and showing where and why they err. Once done, the gospel is presented. The glorious gospel of our great God is proclaimed, and it is so sweet and gracious after touching on all the erroneous imitations. This truly is light after the darkness!
I quote and rely heavily upon Puritan authors, Reformed theologians (alive and past), and modern authors and their scholarship. I incorporate over two hundred and fifty quotes from these sources, as well as over two thousand from scripture.
The Faith of Demons also discusses key doctrines such as: God, his attributes, providence, redemption, judgment, Christ's deity and humanity, worship, and grace. Other teachings include: self-examination, sin, pride, Calvinism, covenant theology, idolatry, legalism, conscience, negative trends within the church, worldliness, false doctrine, religious tradition, gospel proclamation, and the all-encompassing glory and sovereignty of God.
We live in a day and time where many believe that any faith is sufficient. "As long as you believe something" is the slogan of our era. But, this falls short. A person must not just believe in something; he must believe and trust someone- Jesus Christ. The Faith of Demons demonstrates this. Demons know far more about God and his works than any man ever will, yet even all of that knowledge and experience cannot save them. They are doomed. Saving faith must go beyond the faith of demons. The Faith of Demons is not a book on demonology. The title only serves as a springboard to introduce the glaring truth that what many people believe and trust for their salvation is found in demons and even the condemned already in hell. The majority of the book focuses on false gospels, false conversion, the true gospel, and true conversion.
