Genuine faith works by love, and
purifies the soul. There is a faith that has power to cleanse the life from sin. The
devils believe that Christ came into this world as man's Redeemer, that he wrought mighty
miracles, that he was one with the Father, that he died a shameful death to save fallen
man.
The devils believe that he rose from the dead, that he ascended into the heavens, and
sitteth on the right hand of the Father. The devils believe that he is coming again, and
that shortly, with power and great glory, taking vengeance on them that know not God and
obey not the gospel. They believe all that is recorded in the Old and New Testaments. But
will this faith save the demons of darkness? They have not the faith that works by love
and purifies the soul. That faith, and that alone, which cleanses the soul-temple, is the
genuine faith. Everything that defileth must be put away, all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit must be removed from us, if we would enter in through the gates into the city.
Jesus says, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." ---The Signs of
the Times,02-17-90
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and in their minds will I write them, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more." ---Heb. 10: 19-24; 6:17-20.
