Angels created by Christ – Colossians 1:16
GUARDIAN ANGELS
Matthew 18:10; today they constantly watch the Father’s face waiting for instructions to come to earth and do God’s will. They do not patrol down hear, are not free spirits to do what they feel, need permission. The Holy Spirit who indwells us Romans 8:9; knows what we need and intercedes for us Romans 8:26,27; Jesus then mediates on our behalf 1 Timothy 2:5; John 1:51; God decides and permits the action, Matthew 18:10
WE JUDGE THE ANGELS
1 Corinthians 6:3; Man is lower than the angels while we are on earth, Hebrews 2:7-8; but when we die and are victorious, our victory is a judgment to those angels who fell away with Satan, Matthew 25:41. If we can be faithful to the end of our lives, then angels have no excuse for their disobedience.
