What do angels do?

Angels serve God and help people.

Angels don’t work at an office as many people do. An angel’s job is to serve God. They worship him, give messages from Him, and even fight for Him. They fight against Satan. Satan was once the greatest angel, but he wanted to be God. So God cast him out of heaven. The angels that followed Satan are called demons. These evil spirits do all they can to get people to disobey God.

Angels spend their time doing errands for God and worshipping Him. Some of them have special jobs, like telling people what God has said, while others praise God at all times. The Bible says that angels help people, but we don’t know if we have the same angel or angels with us all the time. Angels could be in the room with you right now, but you can’t see or talk with them. Instead of thinking about angels a lot, we should focus on God. He created both angels and us to love and praise God.

Bible Truth

• “Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! Praise the Lord, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord” (Psalm 103:20-22).
  
  
• Daniel said, “My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight” (Daniel 6:22).



• “And when God brings his firstborn Son into the world, he says, ‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’ This is what God said about the angels: ‘God makes his angels become like winds. He makes his servants become like flames of fire. . . .’ All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation” (Hebrews 1:6-7, 14, NCV).
