Angels and Demons by Jim Rooney - HTML preview

Epilogue

We have seen how angels are messengers of God and seek the well-being of God’s people. They rejoice in heaven when one comes to salvation in Christ.

10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke 15:10)

We need to be careful how we treat people we don’t know. It may be that God has sent an angel in the appearance of a man to minister to us.

2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. (Heb. 13:2)

At death, Christians will be carried to paradise by angels to be with Jesus. What a comforting thought as we leave this world.

22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. (Luke 16:22)

8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. (2 Cor. 5:8)

On the last day, when Jesus returns in power and glory He will send His angels to gather His elect in the resurrection.

31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matt. 24:31)

 As this book closes, it is clear that God created the angels; they are real beings. They minister to God’s people and protect them. The demons or fallen angels who rebelled against God try to harm us. This is a real spiritual battle that we will face our entire lives. God will protect us by sending His angels to intervene on our behalf.

The demons have no hope of salvation. They will never have forgiveness of their sins. They will be judged for their rebellion and sin against God and be cast into the lake of fire to receive everlasting torment. However, mankind does have forgiveness of sins through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Although Jesus did not die for any angels, He did die to save His people from their sins.

And she (Mary) will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matt. 1:21)

Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross of Calvary. Instead of receiving everlasting torment for our sins, we will receive everlasting life and joy in heaven because of our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

There is only one way to God. There are no other ways.

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

The Bible says that today is the day of salvation. If you have never come to faith in Jesus Christ, don’t put it off any longer!

2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)

Remember, once you come to faith in Jesus Christ there is no power in heaven or earth that can ever separate you from the love of God!

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 8:37-39)

May God richly bless you!
