" WHY ARE ANGELS NEEDED? "

This week we are looking into why angels are needed. Prayerfully you just may receive a better understanding of a particular fallen angel. I'm of the mind that most Believers are clueless of vital information regarding angels. I'm likewise of the mind-set that when we read we may miss pertinent information opposed to when we study. One might just ask what are angels and why are they needed? Now the conception and birth of Jesus Christ are supernatural events beyond human logic or reasoning. Because of this, God sent "Angels" to help certain people understand the significance of what was happening (see Matthew 2:13,19; Luke 1:11;26; 2:29). Angels are spiritual beings created by God who help carry out his work on earth. They bring God's message to people (Luke 1:26), Protect God's people(Daniel 6:22), Offer encouragement (Genesis 16:7ff), Give guidance (Exodus 14:19), Carry out punishment(2 Samuel 24:16), Patrol the earth (Zechariah 1:9-14), and fight the forces of evil (2 Kings 6:16-18; Revelation 20:1-2). There are both Good and Bad Angels (Revelation 12:7), but because bad angels are allied with the devil, they have considerably less power and authority than good angles. Eventually the main role of angles will be to offer continuous praise to God. Disguised as a crafty serpent, satan came to tempt Eve. Once again, Satan at one time was an angel who rebelled against God and was Thrown Out Of Heaven. As a created being. Satan has definite limitations. Although he is trying to tempt everyone from God, he will not be the final victor. In Genesis 3:14-14, God promised that satan will be crushed by one of the woman's offspring, the Messiah. LAST POINT: If God did not spare angels, or people who lived before the flood, or the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah he would not spare false teachers. Now some people would have us believe that God will save all people he is so loving. But it is foolish to think that God will cancel the last judgment. We should be warned clearly that God judges sin and that unrepentant sinners cannot escape. Until Next Time... Jim,
