Angels in the bible

5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”[1]

We are in the book of Hebrews and tonight lets take a look at this passage. God did not make a angel his son but he made the angels to work for him. Gpd had one son and one that was his. So what do the angles do for their work and service? All angels are above the human man in power. Angels are made to worship the lord all the time. In the bible it is clear that we join the angels in the worship of the Lord Jesus. He alone is to be worshiped. Also in the bible Angels took Gods message to the people in the old and the new. An Angel told Mary Jesus was going to be given to her. Angels protect Gods people like in the desert with the camp they were behind them and before them. Shadrac had a angel in the fire with him that did not burn up. Also the angels fed people.

We are not to worship angels but only Jesus. He is the one that has the fathers heart for all times. God made the angels for his pleasure and the pleasure of God is his Glory and fame.

Here is a bible study if you wish to do on angels and maybe I will do more on the topic to.
