There are really guardian angels?

There are really guardian angels “personal” who follow us along our existence, as Benedict XVI? – IzTheWize Dayer

What are the angels?

Martin Luther wrote:

“Learn angels is necessary to the church. Therefore the holy preachers should teach in a logical and correct way, in the first place, What they are, that is spiritual beings without bodies, secondly, that sort of spirits are, vale a dire, good spirits and not bad; and here we have to say what are the evil spirits, created by God, but rebelled against Him and their subsequent fall. Thirdly, you have to talk about their function, that, as in the Epistle to the Hebrews, It is to introduce the humble devout Christians, as such creatures are pure and perfect messengers, announce to us, poor and wretched, time messages from God” (Table Talk , pp 278-279).

Scripture shows us four main teachings about angels.

1) Angels are creatures created by God, and should not be worshiped. They are not eternal. And employees are. They have their being, not in themselves, but in God. The creation of the angels is not told in the first chapters of Genesis. All those who believe in the literal meaning of Genesis 1 agree with the fact that the angels were created in one of the six days of creation. Some believe they were created on the first day, when God created the heavens and the earth. They point out that at this point the earth was without form, and void;, but not the sky. This seems the more correct interpretation. Others are content to say that were created before the fourth day, when God created the sun, the moon and the stars.

Angels are more than men in knowledge, but they do not know everything. A certain woman said to King David: "My lord is wise according to the wisdom of an angel, to know all things that are on earth” (II Sam. 14), but we also read that the day and the hour when the Son of God returns, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven (Matt.24: 36).

2) Then it should be noted that the double predestinazione eternal decreed by God, also it concerns the angels. In 1 Timoteo 5:02 the apostle writes: “I charge you before God, and Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things”. And then we read about reprobate angels in Judah 6, “He also kept in darkness and in eternal chains, for the great day of judgment, the angels which kept not their, but left their home“. God elected some angels, and she tried everything else.

Furthermore, angels do not form a race similar to the human race, they are not organically related, not marry, They do not have sex and not give birth to little angels. Their number is constant from the time of their creation. They do not form a society or a federation. When Adam fell into sin, the entire human race became guilty and corrupt because of him. And when Satan fell into sin, all the angels became guilty of his sin. Those who voluntarily joined his rebellion became wicked and depravatoimentre those who stood firm by the grace of God, remained standing and are still standing today. Christ's death is not atoned for the sins of the angels. He is not the Savior of the angels. The holy angels have no need of redemption and the fallen angels have fallen without possibility of salvation.

3) When God created the angels set them in various orders and levels. The angels differ in their glory and their position. Scripture speaks of cherubini who are the guardians of God's throne, delgiustizia and holiness, of serafini who are above the cherubim, and lead the worship of God in heaven, from archangels, one of which is Michele, perhaps, another is Gabriele, angels in charge of ia specific accomplish great tasks. Paul speaks, in the letter to Colossesi 1, an organization of angels, when he writes of thrones, principati e poteri, which they were all created by Christ and for Christ. An angel more is mentioned in the Old Testament, l’Angel of the Lord. Actually this is not a created angel, but it is the Christ as he appeared in the form of an angel before his incarnation through the virgin birth. When Christ appeared in the form of an angel, Abram, Jacob, Moses, Balaam, Gideon, and other, There was a harbinger of the great mystery of godliness, God manifested in the flesh.

4) We said earlier that the number of angels remains constant. It does not increase or decrease over time. Now we note that the number of the holy angels is very large! In Daniele 7 the prophet writes of thousands and thousands of angels who serve God. The idea that we have is really an innumerable crowd! As we read in Jews 12, an innumerable host of angels.

What is the relationship with the angels of God Church?

Are they not all ministering spirits Service, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Jews 1:14

The Angels are the servants of the church as a whole and of individual saints.

The messengers

Angels are messengers God in heaven, and carry messages to his Church on earth. After the fall God placed at the east of Eden cherubim to guard the way of the tree of life. God gave the Law to Moses at Sinai by angels' hands. The birth of Jesus Christ was announced to Mary and Joseph Gabriele, after announcing the birth of John the Baptist. An angel appeared to the shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem scared talking about the birth of the Savior, then, a heavenly host taught the shepherds to sing, “Glory to God in the highest”. After Jesus was baptized and was tempted in the desert, the angels came and served him. When Jesus bowed down to the ground like a worm and not a man, an angel came to him to strengthen. At the empty tomb an angel spoke of the resurrection to the women, “He is not here, It has risen as he said”. On the Mount of Olives, an angel said to the disciples: “Why do you stand looking into the sky?” and he promised that Christ would return in a similar manner. And when Jesus will come the end of time He will come with his angels in great glory.

Angels are, then, sent messengers to reveal the will of God, to comfort both Christ and His Church.

The guardian angels

There are angels whose business is to protect the people of God and their children, are the guardian angels. In Salmo 91:11-12 we find the wonderful words:

For he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways. They will take you on the palm of the hand, because your foot against any stone.

As parents we know that you can not always have your eyes on our children, therefore we take great comfort from the words of Jesus in Matteo 18:10:

"See that you despise one of these little; for I tell you that their angels, in the heavens, continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

The little children of God have their own personal angels, God commanded them to watch our children. Angels do not only protect us physically, but safeguard our children from the devil and the world. We believe that God watch over us. We believe that He will protect us from evil. sure, but we are not often aware of means He used to do what.

We are protected by spiritual beings that we can call guardian angels.
