This is what God says in Scripture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;\u201cI am the Lord, there is no other; beside me there is no God!\u201d (Isaiah 45:5-6) God negates the existence of all gods. Whatever beings that may or may not be out there, they are not gods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe Lord your God is one\u201d (Deut 6:4-5). God underlines the fact that he is in fact one of a kind. This was an incredible statement to say in a culture that was full of so-called gods. The is only one God and it is the Lord, the God of Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cthe demons know God is one and they tremble!\u201d (James 2:19). These powerful beings, who might try to parade as gods, know the truth: they don\u2019t stand a chance against the actual and only God!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This self-disclosure from God should comfort and strengthen us.
