James 2:19

2:19 You believe that God is one. To believe that God is one can be a mere intellectual assertion. To believe “in” God requires personal trust. To believe that He is, is to assent to a proposition even the demons acknowledge. Saving faith includes cognitive knowledge but goes beyond it to personal trust and submission.
