All About Angels!
"Open my eyes, that I may
see
wondrous things from
Your law."
Psalm 119: 18
The world is filled with ideas and
depictions
of angels ranging from chubby cherubs to
warriors to messengers—and they can’t all
be accurate. So, we turn first for answers
to
the authoritative Word of God.
As with the existence of God Himself, the Bible
doesn’t spend time defining angels. The Bible
takes the existence of angels for granted. That
is, we learn about angels by noticing their
roles
and relationships with God and with people.
Authors of Scripture may be surprised by
the appearance of angels at times. They're
never surprised by their existence. The best
example of the assumption that angels
exist
is in Hebrews 13:2 where we are told that
angels, appearing as humans, may walk
among us.
Only the Bible gives us such
practical advice and examples
about the reality of angels.
The Bible is not a book about angels,
but it gives ample evidence concerning
who and what they are. If you want to
learn about angels, start with Scripture.
"The Bible assumes, rather than
asserts, the existence of angels,
as it does the fact of God Himself."
