The Ministry Of Angels In Relation To God The Father (4 Of 16)
Series: ANGELS! ANGELS! ANGELS!
Dr. Stan Coffey
Introduction:
Thus far in our stud-y of angels we have examined the reality of angels. The scripture mentions angels 273 times. In our second lesson we looked at the origin of angels created by God the Father through God the Son as the creative agent. We looked at the nature of -'angels created with personality (mind, emotion, and will), freedom of choice, and immortality. Once created they never cease to exist. Prior to Satan's fall, we know that the angels were exquisite, beautiful creatures who reflect the glory and majesty of God. In today's lesson we will look at the ministry of angels. This is the first of three lessons studying how angels minister to God the Father, to Christ the Son, to believers, and to unbelievers.
