Answered in 1 source
Mark 5 reveals that demons recognize Christ's authority and power over them, demonstrating that God is just in dealing with sin.
In Mark 5, we see a powerful encounter between Jesus and a man possessed by demons. The demons, speaking through the man, acknowledge Jesus by saying, 'What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High?' This emphasizes that even evil spirits recognize the authority of Christ, who has come to save and deliver those in bondage. The interaction highlights God's justice; the demons express fear of judgment, indicating that God will deal with sin and rebellion justly. This account illustrates the spiritual warfare we face and the reality of evil, yet also showcases Christ's sovereign power to save and redeem the lost.
