Here is exactly what the
author meant.
"The demons believe, and tremble," means that the demons believe and
tremble. I thought that was pretty clear.
Next question, how does that apply to liberals? Answer: If
you think that salvation is for those who believe, do not drink blood and are
not fornicating, you might start trembling too. The sermon on the mount
was not just for Jews. When Jesus said,"Why do you call me Lord when
you do not obey me", that question was not for those under the law only.
The Gospels spell out in great detail what Christ expects from those who call
Him Lord, and obedience is always way up there on the list. While I am at
it, I should point out that not "every one is In Christ". Romans 13:5
cl;early points that out.
That sane verse also tells us to examine ourselves, to see if we are in
the faith. How do we do that? Some would say,"I wrote down the
date in my Bible when I got saved". Others would say they walked an
aisle, or said a sinners prayer, or signed a card. Some think that you are
saved unless you reject Christ, others rely on their warm fuzzy feelings or
their attendance record at church. None of that will hold water when you
fall on your face in front of the Lord. When that day comes, you won't
hold up your Bible or your attendance record. You won't want to hear Him
talk about the card you signed. The only words you will want to hear are
"Well done, my good and FAITHFUL servant". You show the
difference between yourself and the demons by being "Faithful".
To me, that means you do what He says to do, and you don't do what He
says not to do. It's called obedience, not to the law, but to
Christ. Examine yourself to see how faithful you are.
Better stop now or I'll start preaching.
