He exhibited faith, a belief in things unseen, that the Messiah was coming and that prophecy would be fulfilled. His was not saving faith. He tried to stop that Messiah. He set himself in opposition to God, as Satan did. And, alas, Herod is spending eternity away from God.

Faith alone isn’t enough. The demons also believe, and tremble.

We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, only then do we have saving faith.

Good post, Otto.

I simply viewed Herod’s actions as trying to change what was to occur, as though saying prophecy is just a maybe, not certain if he could frustrate it.

And so faith of the non-saving kind and belief are different in what way?
