Saving faith is not mere intellectual assent to the truth claims - TopicsExpress



          

Saving faith is not mere intellectual assent to the truth claims of the Bible. Demons acknowledge that Christ is the Son of God, yet they lack a personal relationship with Him. Many professing Christians also only have only an intellectual understanding of the gospel. Though they do not deny the truth, they do not love the truth with all their hearts, minds, and souls. They may profess to believe, but would not die for the truth. In the same way that people believe in triangles and squares, carnal Christians believe the Bible. But this speculative knowledge, which may even cause them to attend church and perform a few good deeds, is not saving faith anymore than fear and trembling is evidence of saving faith within the devils (Jam. 2:19). Demons know God, but they do not love God. I am afraid that many, if not most, of professing Christians only process this superficial form of faith – a faith that works without love.
