APPLICATION: Our Theme for 2026, “Be God’s Blessing” (John 3:17)
1. Angels are not to be worshipped or idolized. In Scripture they always serve the Father and the Son. They always take a back seat to them.
2. No human ever becomes an angel. God created a set amount and that very large number has never nor will ever change.
3. Angels never act independently. Good angels serve God while bad angels serve Satan. Both good and bad angels are limited by God in their power and activities.
4. Angels are well organized to serve God and protect Christians from Satan’s attacks. So Christ’s Church needs to be well organized to serve God and protect our Christian brothers and sisters.
