Angels Part 5

 


    Jesus is far greater than angels.  Jesus was part of all creation and angels were created.  The name of God is greater than any other name.  God never spoke to angels the way He spoke to Jesus.  Jesus is God's son.  Jesus is supreme and angels are meant to worship him.  Angels are invisible or at least behind the scenes to carry out God's orders.  
    Jesus will rule for eternity.  He loves justice and hates evil.  He was anointed by God to provide joy.  He holds power, but always lived humbly.  God placed honor on Jesus, not angels.  Angels are magnificent, but they are only spiritual servants.  They do not provide salvation.  Only Jesus can do that.
    Listen carefully to the truth of God that came by angels about the law and the importance of obedience.  No one can escape the truth.  Jesus is the only one that can deliver us from getting what we really deserve for eternity.  God confirmed the message through the Holy Spirit.
    Angels do not control the future of the world.  For now we are slightly below angels until the end.  Then, God of authority over glory and honor will put everything in it's proper place.  Angels and people are both under God's authority.  
    Jesus showed us the way.  He suffered.  He was the perfect leader.  His sacrifice on Earth gave us the opportunity to have salvation.  His salvation makes us holy where we will never be ashamed again.  Jesus did not come to the earth to help angels, but to help people.  He was the message that the angels gave people throughout time.
    Love each other in a healthy familial manner.  Be hospitable to strangers.  By obeying the simple instructions, you may entertain angels without ever knowing it.  Remember that all the suffering that you have endured and may endure is not for yourself.  Feel the pain and remember Jesus, so that you do not become bitter or hard.
    The messages that you receive are rarely just for yourself.  Apply them to your life and that way you will preach to others and be ready when they ask questions.  Live out the Good News.  Allow the power of the Holy Spirit to work in your life.  It is wonderful.  Even angels eagerly watch to see the power of God work in life.
    God did not spare the angels who sinned.  They were thrown into the gloomy dark pit of hopelessness and judgment.  They will stay there until Judgment Day.  No one is spared judgment except those that listened to the message and accepted it.  God's judgment is severe and final.  Those that go to hell will suffer torment that cannot be imagined.  
    Even in this fallen world God is here.  There is hope.  The final judgment there will be no more hope.  There will be no more aspects of God's presence.  Do not follow your own path that will lead you to hell.  Do not give into pride and arrogance.  God's judgment is real.  Even the supernatural beings fear it.  Angels have far greater power and strength than you and they would not dare blasphemy God.
    Jesus rescues those that faithfully follow him, but he will destroy those that reject him.  Even the angels that did not stay within their limits of authority that were given by God were placed into hell.  They are chained to darkness while waiting judgment.  Look back into the history of the places that reject God and the consequences.  The final judgment will make those look minor.  The final judgment delivers eternal fire.
    Angels have their purpose.  We should respect their power, but not worship them.  We should appreciate what they do, but understand that God is the source.  They are messenger, protector, enforcers, and warriors.  God is the creator of them and their power.
