Joy Among Angels!
"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy
in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents."
Luke 15: 10
Corrie ten
Boom, the Dutch Christian, often
spoke of salvation as the “decision that makes
the angels sing.” Whenever she led someone
to Christ, she was
aware of rejoicing taking
place in heaven.
Luke refers to angels most. He relates Jesus’
parable of a woman finding her lost coin. She
called her neighbors to rejoice with her.
Jesus also said, “In the same way, I tell
you, there is rejoicing in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who
repents”.
Think of the moment you received Christ as your
Savior. Perhaps you weren’t aware of it, but your
decision was celebrated with joy and singing
among the Lord and His angels.
Angels are intrigued by salvation and rejoice
when individuals accept Christ as their Savior.
When anyone comes to Christ, let’s rejoice
like the angels in heaven.
"The angels of heaven rejoice over sinners
that repent: saints of God, will not you and
I do the same? I do not think the church
rejoices enough. We all grumble enough
and groan enough: but very few of
us
rejoice enough."
Charles Spurgeon
