FAMILY THEME: WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT ANGELS?

Colossians 1:16-17;  Revelation 22:8-9;  Matthew 26:53;  Hebrews 13:2

While angels are popular in our culture, Scripture alone provides

us with the truth about angels.

1.  Angels Were Created to Worship and Serve God

     (Colossians 1:16-17; Revelation 5:11-12)

     Angels essentially fulfill two roles. They serve at God's 

     instruction and they worship Him.

 
2. Angels Are Not to Be Worshiped

     (Colossians 2:18;  Revelation 22:8-9)

     There can be a tendency to elevate the status of angels

     to a higher position than they were intended to serve.

 
3.  Multitudes of Angels Are Involved in God's Work

     (Matthew 26:53)

     The Bible never tells us the exact number of angels but

     it does indicate there are many.

4.  Angels May Be Involved in Our Lives Without Our Knowledge

     (Hebrews 1:14;  13:2)

     Scripture teaches we can have angelic encounters without

     realizing it.
