“I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13 HCSB
“You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe — and they shudder.”
James 2:19 HCSB

Believe -pisteuō (Greek root word): to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in.
The same belief in the name of Jesus should be in us that is in the demons, not for fear but for life. We believe (to place confidence in) to result in Eternal Life. The demons believe (To think or know to be true) and shutter because they know they are on the wrong side. God does however expect us to tremble in great respect for Him, His word, and our salvation.
“I tremble in awe of You; I fear Your judgments.”
Psalms 119:120 HCSB

“My hand made all these things, and so they all came into being. This is the Lord’s declaration. I will look favorably on this kind of person: one who is humble, submissive in spirit, and trembles at My word.”

“So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
Philippians 2:12 HCSB

After all should we not respect God as Boss, Master, and Lord.
“They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well! He even makes deaf people hear, and people unable to speak, talk! ””
Mark 7:37 HCSB

“Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.”
Colossians 3:22-24 HCSB
