Demons

Evil spiritual beings opposed to God — Jesus cast them out regularly, demonstrating His authority over the spiritual realm

Definition

Malevolent spiritual beings opposed to God. The OT hints at their existence; the NT reveals them more fully, especially in Jesus' ministry of casting them out. They are real but defeated — Jesus demonstrated absolute authority over every demon He encountered.

Jesus I Know. Paul I Recognize. But Who Are You?

Acts 19:13-17

Demons are the ones who expose the sons of Sceva's fraudulence — the evil spirit's declaration that it knows Jesus and recognizes Paul but doesn't know these men draws a sharp line between real and counterfeit authority.
