Angels -The Truth
Hello Welcome and come on in Gift of Grace's Door is always opened. And where Every Day is a Gift and You are a Gift. I am looking for some new and exciting information for our site. So if you have any thing that you would like to share or see on our page please feel free to contact us, and we will make sure that it gets in the site or even on our Sunday bulletin. I have been searching for some fun facts and some fun activities for the kids. So please helps us in giving us what you would to see on our site. Today at work a topic came up about Angels. I believe that we all have a Angel protecting us, every day, and like the article that I found on the web I have a angel pin in my car and one sitting on my desk at the office. So what do you believe or think. I found this article interesting and there is more to it, but I'll say the rest for tomorrow.
Hope to see you at Church on Sunday, Pastor Sam has a great service planned.
Angels: What are they?
Angels are everywhere in today's society. They are depicted frequently in television shows, movies and books. They are pinned to our lapels and hang from our rear-view mirrors. They are traditionally viewed as "guardians" that protect our homes and children. But what is myth and what is reality? Where do angels come from?
Angels: Servants of God
Angels are servants of God that help carry out His commands. Angels are real spiritual beings that are documented throughout the Bible. They are documented in both the Old and New Testaments. While God's angels carry out His commands, the Bible also tells us that there is a supreme, fallen angel who is against God (Matthew 25:41) and other angels that are evil and face God's punishment (Jude 1:6). Angels are also messengers of God. For example, after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb, "the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified'" (Matthew 28:5). The physical descriptions of angels have also been documented in the Bible and history: "His appearance was like lightening, and his clothes were white as snow" (Matthew 28:3). "I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. His body was like Chrysolite, his face like lightening, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of multitude" (Daniel 10:5,6). The Bible also describes angels with wings that can fly. "Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two wings they covered their feet and with two they were flying" (Isaiah 6:2).
