How do we know that demons are real according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The reality of demons is affirmed in various biblical accounts, including Jesus’ interactions with them in the Gospels.

The Bible explicitly teaches the existence of demons, often referred to as unclean spirits. In Mark 5:1-20, we see a direct encounter between Jesus and a man possessed by a legion of demons. This incident illustrates not only the presence of demonic forces but also their power over individuals apart from divine intervention. The fact that these demons recognized Jesus as the Son of the Most High God demonstrates their awareness of spiritual truths that many humans fail to acknowledge. The belief in demons is necessary for understanding the spiritual warfare that exists in our world, as affirmed by Paul who notes that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12).
