James 2:19
_ _ Thou — emphatic. Thou self-deceiving claimant to faith without works.
_ _ that there is one God — rather, “that God is one”: God’s existence, however, is also asserted. The fundamental article of the creed of Jews and Christians alike, and the point of faith on which especially the former boasted themselves, as distinguishing them from the Gentiles, and hence adduced by James here.
_ _ thou doest well — so far good. But unless thy faith goes farther than an assent to this truth, “the evil spirits (literally, ‘demons’: ‘devil’ is the term restricted to Satan, their head) believe” so far in common with thee, “and (so far from being saved by such a faith) shudder (so the Greek),” Matthew 8:29; Luke 4:34; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6; Revelation 20:10. Their faith only adds to their torment at the thought of having to meet Him who is to consign them to their just doom: so thine (Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 10:27, it is not the faith of love, but of fear, that hath torment, 1 John 4:18). |
James 2:19
Thou believest there is one God — I allow this: but this proves only that thou hast the same faith with the devils. Nay, they not only believe, but tremble — At the dreadful expectation of eternal torments. So far is that faith from either justifying or saving them that have it. |
James 2:19
(10) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
(10) Another reason taken from an absurdity: if such a faith were the true faith by means of which we are justified, the demons would be justified, for they have that, but nonetheless they tremble and are not justified, therefore neither is that faith a true faith. |
