Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Acts 12: 5, 7
Peter, therefore, was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto GOD for him...And, behold, an angel of the LORD came upon him, and a light shone in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly". And his chains fell off from his hands.
Angels are dispatched from GOD. They are the "response team"sent to reply to the prayers of people. Angels minister to a special group of people, the heirs of salvation. We can understand this as being those who are born again and part of the family of GOD. Romans 8:16,17 says this very clearly: " The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD; and if children, then heirs-heirs of GOD, and joint heirs with Christ-if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together." Galatians 4:7 underscores this point: "Wherefore, thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of GOD through Christ."
It is to the heirs of salvation that the ministering angels are sent. They are light, they speak and they have great power to deliver the sons of GOD from the chains that bind and the prisons that enclose. When these chains fall off and the prison doors are open, the heirs can bring forth the Gospel of JESUS Christ so that all who hear can be saved.
Why does GOD send His angels to free us to minister? It is the will of GOD that all will be saved. GOD goes to great length to make sure that all people will hear the good news of JESUS Christ and cling to Him and be heirs of salvation.
TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER, FOR EVER AND EVER MORE
