—Acts 19:13-20
by: Gabi Patz.
“Fake it ‘til you make it,” may work at a job, but it does not work in the Kingdom of God. The demon recognized that these men were not truly changed by the Holy Spirit and therefore, their attempts to cast it out were unsuccessful. While the Jews in this story are an example of what not to do, the end of the passage mentions people who recognized their wrong behavior and confessed. We may not make the same mistakes these men did, but we are guilty of sinning every day. Thankfully, God is gracious and merciful, and when we confess our sins like these men, we will be forgiven!
