We have a dear friend (Cleta) who brings Ken a coconut pie every couple of weeks.   Ken loves coconut pie.  He has half of it eaten before the day is done.  And then finishes it off before noon the next day.  It is such a nice thing for her do for Ken.  Her husband Jim was part of the Normandy invasion on D-day.  We eat breakfast with them every Saturday and Ken and Jim swap war stories.

We have been so blessed with people in our lives that really do what James said we should do.  Do good.    When James writes something, it's all black and white.  No gray.

James 2:19  "You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

Now there is an interesting thought.  Believing that there is a God doesn't save you.  Believing there is only  one  God doesn't save you.  If there is anyone who believes there is one God, it is Lucifer--Satan himself.  He went head to head with God and lost.   He, the devil, knows positively that there is only one God.

Now he (Satan) roams the earth.  1 Peter 5:8  "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking who he may devour."  We must take this fact seriously.  We are in danger of an adversary who spends all of his time  looking for people to ruin.  Their lives.  Their relationships.  He is relentless.  You are his target.

The Holy Spirit is what saves us.  Inviting Christ into your life is the step we must take after believing that there is one God.   It is Christ who saves you.  "...Christ in you, the hope of glory. "  Col. 1: 27b

He alone is our hope.
