Many people have asked the question “Where did angels come from?” This question can be answered relatively easily. The Bible tells us that God created them. Colossians 1:16 tells us “For by him all things were created both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through him and for him.” Therefore, if God created everything and angels exist, then he must have created them. The psalmist tells us very explicitly, “Praise Him, all his angels…Let them praise the name of the Lord for he c

We should also use our study of angels as an opportunity for evangelism. In light of the recent interest in angels in the world, many more people are more open to suggestions of the supernatural. We should tap into that interest in angels to introduce them to Jesus Christ and their need of salvation through Him. If an atheist or a naturalist can show an interest in angels then we can show them through proper use of the doctrine that they are sinners in need of salvation.

How should we live in light of this doctrine?

“(1) They stand before God and worship him…. (2) They protect and deliver God’s people…. (3) They guide and encourage God’s servants…. (4) They interpret God’s will to men…. (5) They are executors of judgment toward individuals and toward nations such as Sodom and Gomorrah, Jerusalem, and Herod, and toward the earth…. (6) They carry the saved home after physical death.”

Angels do have ministries that they perform in obedience to God. Henry Theissen lists them as such.

As Mr. Lightner said, Christians will have glorified bodies. Angels are spirits they do not have physical bodies although they have taken bodies in the Bible to perform their work.

Although they are heavenly beings angels are definitely not worthy of worship. Are they not created beings, like you and I after all? God himself has told us who we are to worship. “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I the Lord your God, am a jealous God.” We are to worship God and God alone. Robert Lightner puts it well,
