2 From the Editor s desk Praise is unto the Lord. Dear brothers and Sisters, We greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year 20. As God had protected all of us in the year 20, He would certainly hold us under His wings so that our families could see the pasture and our Children would have peace and joy. Victory is ours; no one can take it away from us. Some time it may appear to us that the victory post is quite far but that is only because we walk slowly with our Lord, who wants to take us very quickly to the next level in our faithful life. Nevertheless, the one who has begun His work in us would complete it to His satisfaction; Glory to God. In this fourth issue of Journal of Christ, we have brought out two interesting articles; a short note on Scriptures titled, Life is Light, and a full length article on God s Angels. We believe that both would bring God s blessing into your lives. Keep praying for this Journal, so that many could be benefitted. Bro S David, December 20 Life is Light, its likeness is Love In Genesis 2:7, we read about the creation of human system as follows: The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground (Earth Crest) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. The above verse clarifies a point that God had formed the man in two stages. Stage I: Formed man s Physical body Stage II: Created the Spiritual life in the physical body Therefore, we learn about our life that is in the Spirit. All the creatures have got the Spirit (Psalms 4:30) and their lives are in that Spirit. Here are some soul searching revelations. Life cycle is a closed loop; that is a continuous system Both blood and breath have to get circulated in order to hold on their life cycles Heart circulates the blood and lungs circulate the breath These two organs, form the living system in every human Heart receives the energy from the Spirit but connected through the mind with the elements of communication system such as nerves and brain If the Spirit does not supply the needed energy to the heart and mind then the total system collapses Merely brain functioning or heart functioning do not represent a human life on the earth without the Spirit, which is actually the life energy with an operating system, known as SOUL The Spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart, (Proverbs 20:27). God s Angels Dec 20

3 God illuminates our mind with the above verse to learn about ourselves. Our Spirit is the Light; and bible says that God lives in an unapproachable light (I Timothy 6:15, 16). Further to have clarification on this subject, let s examine few points from the Scriptures. As long as I (Jesus) am in the world, I (Jesus) am the light of the world, (John 8:; 9:5) John writes about Jesus that He (Jesus) is the life and that life is the light of the man (John 1:4,5) In him (Jesus) was life and the life was the light of man. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it. It is explicit that our Spirit is the light and the darkness is the physical life (relations & characters of this world), we have chosen. Indeed, Satan the devil had suggested humans to select such a life of learning good and bad. The kingdom of darkness has been built accordingly and continuously expanding due to our disobedient nature and sinful life. However the Kingdom of God is established righteously by the blood of Jesus Christ, which is the atoning sacrifice to take away all our sins and iniquities. The only death, which every human can remember and rejoice, is the death of Christ because in his death we got the life of light. Our life is light Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going (pass away). While you (believers of God s word) have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light, (John :35, 36). In Ephesians 5:8-, St. Paul writes as, For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as Children of light. For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Darkness is a spiritual state, in which a human spirit does not encounter with God because He is light. Therefore, God s guidance, counseling, blessing are missing in the lives of those, who do not do, what pleases the Lord. Even though creation was performed in light that is in God s presence, the disbelief of humans on God s word has brought darkness in their lives. Bad words produce all bad characters in our thought life system. However, God gives ample opportunities to those, who are in darkness to realize that they are in wrong path. This is known as salvation; that is to bring them back into light (God s presence). It happens in two stages in a sinner s life as God prepared the human life at the time of creation. God s Angels Dec 20

4 Since man and woman through a physical relation form the physical body for their child, it becomes sinful and therefore needs cleansing for all the disobediences, from the birth to a matured sinful state. Repentance leads to water baptism and submission of our life to the living God, brings the lost glory to that life, i.e. anointing of Holy Spirit. The secret of our life is breathing; but the Spirit of life helps us to breathe to have that life in flesh during our stay on the earth. If we obey to the one, who has given this life to us then we will inherit the freedom and get access to live eternally with this life in light. St. Paul assures the following in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:): Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the Saints in the Kingdom of Light. John further substantiates Paul s understanding with a complete certainty in I John 1:5, 7: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all; if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. As we understand that the works of the devil in us will lead into sinful life and these works (deeds) must be washed off from our life in order to get sanctified. The blood of God s Son does this wonderful job through our faith on God s word. We may wonder how it happens. But it happens in the name of Jesus Christ, for the glory of heavenly Father. Remember, God s love is so powerful to destroy the works of the devil (Lust) in our flesh. The blood cycle that retains the God given life in our flesh is sanctified once the life starts walking in the light; that is to start having fellowship with the light. Christ s Holy Spirit is that light. The spiritual characters are love centered not lust cornered. By developing good characters, we can reflect God s nature (likeness). Breathing brings Oxygen into our blood for which the Spirit gives energy to the life saving elements such as Lungs, heart etc. This is only to hold on the blood cycle. But the mind which processes every thought of the heart is supplied with every required knowledge and wisdom by the Spirit of God. Let s thank our God in heaven for making this wonderful system and full heartedly glorify His name in Jesus Christ, who is our Lord and Savior. Amen, Praise the Lord God s Angels Dec 20

5 God s Angels FJC Prayer Group, Bangalore , Karnataka, India. Phone: Abstract Humans, living in flesh have got a great opportunity to become God s angels. Christ Jesus took a good mission and gave his life to transform a sinful human life into an eternal angel. Conversion brings changes in name and festival seasons but a truthful transformation makes our lives angelic. This article clarifies without Christ Jesus there is no peace in human life and it concludes that living with Christ s Spirit is eternal life. 1.0 Introduction Before any creation was made on the Earth, it was formless and darkness overshadowed its surface. There was no one on the Earth except God and the Earth was completely filled with water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water. Why did God come to the Earth, where there was no one to talk to Him? The bible says that God lives in heaven; it briefly mentions about angels worshiping and serving God and their assembly in heavenly worlds (Galaxies). The Holy Scriptures also talk about God s enemy (Satan) and his angels (demons). God is being the creator of all lives, certainly would not have created an enemy for himself. Let us understand principally one point; who will become an enemy; the one who was friendly first. If the desire of someone does not get fulfilled, then he becomes hostile to the system, in which he is living. It is therefore clear that Satan was not created but one of the sons of God in heavenly places became antagonistic and moved away from God s holy presence. He had developed a state of ungodly, i.e. not being with God and therefore called as Satan. In Ezekiel 28:15, 16, we read: You (Satan) were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade (worship songs/sermons), you were filled with violence (unlawful desires/demands) and you sinned (developed own image). Here, we learn about the history of one of the senior most officials in the God s ministry. Lucifer as he was then called was the high priest (worship leader or arch angel) in the God s assembly He was anointed to lead the worship and services for God; that was his business (trade) He was filled with musical talents, wisdom (God s word); he was majesty and a perfect beauty among the angels (Ezekiel 28:) In his business, the focal point was Christ Jesus, the anointed and blessed Son of God, who was authorized to share God s honor and glory with the creator (Father) God s glory must be worshiped; Christ Jesus is God s word and manifestation of God s word is God s glory God s Angels Dec 20

6 In simple terms: Christ Jesus and Father God share the following: Same thoughts (Thought life system) Same Spirit (Holy Spirit) What do we say about these spiritual truths? John writes in 3:34, 35 as, For the one, whom God has sent, speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit (Alpha/Omega). The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hand. In Psalms 8:4-6 and 45:7, we read about Jesus as, Jesus when came to the earth, he was made to be humble and lower than God s angels However, when he was in the heavenly places, he was set above all his companions; Why? Because, You (Christ) love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God (Father), your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. Bible says in Psalms 22:3 as, Yet you are enthroned as the Holy one; you are the praise of Israel. The oil of joy is being in praises. The name, God chosen for his praise is Jesus because he is the holy one. In Luke we have more clarification on this point (Luke 1:35). Angel Gabriel Said: The Holy Spirit will come upon you (Virgin Mary), and the power of the most high will overshadow you; so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. We cannot separate the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and see God in them individually; because they are together. They are one as righteous God. 2.0 God s Family Why does this arrangement? God is Omni potent (present) and lives alone in the fourth heaven; but likes to share His life with His children. He cannot accept any unrighteousness to touch His soul and Spirit. Therefore, first He multiplied as Himself; that is Christ Jesus. The spiritual life of Father God and Son of God is the same. Jesus will not think and do anything on his own (John 5:19). Jesus gave them this answer: I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. In John 5:43, Jesus further confirms that he has come in the name of God. Also in another place (John 8:16), He clarifies: But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with Father, who sent me. Jesus, the Son of God had judged that the arch angel of worship had a wicked thought (Isaiah :- 15). This was the thought there in the mind and heart of the worship leader. God s Angels Dec 20

7 You (Lucifer) said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. Then what was the reply made and reaction shown by the worship leader. Let us look at the Scriptures carefully. In John 8:44, Jesus said to the non-believers of truth the following: You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning (since human creation); not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies (speaks), he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Jesus clearly makes the difference between God s Children and those, who follow the devil (I John 3:9, ). Who can be the father of something or someone? The one, who has founded it, is the father. Jesus calls Satan as liar and the father of lies. When God created Adam (first man) and Eve (first woman), he created them in their image (Father, Son) and likeness (Holy Spirit). Some explanation is needed here to have more simplicity on this vital life format. Genesis 1:26, 27, say the following. Then God said (Father) to Son (Jesus): Let us (Father, Son) make man (Adam) in our image, in our likeness (Holy Spirit) and let them (Adam, Eve) rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So, God created them (male and female) in his own image. While creating the man and the woman, God did not differentiate them spiritually; thus formed their spirit and soul similar. As God and His Son were together spiritually, God created Adam and Eve spiritually one. God was an orphan, and then He multiplied to live with His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus. They had planned together the entire universe and its systems, creatures etc (Proverbs 8:22-31). Jesus says here that he was with his father since the beginning of all creations. Absolute clarity exists on who is Jesus, if we read this part of the scriptures. Christ is the God of clarity; we get no confusion, if we truthfully follow him. Adam was the first son in flesh to God on the earth; so he had received a complete spiritual training from God directly. However, when God brought Eve to him, Adam failed to recognize her spiritual similarity but accepted her physical compatibility: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman for she was taken out of man (Genesis 2:23). This tells us one thing that is that Adam had certainly no evil desires over the physical state of Eve but did not behave spiritually. God in His wisdom indeed grounded their physical desires by anointing them spiritually through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the characteristic personality of God s image to produce God s qualities (likeness). Adam and Eve were leading just the angelic life in the Garden of Eden. Their characters are defined in Galatians 5:22, 23; the fruits of spirit; and they worshiped God truthfully. 3.0 Rebellion in the Universe The arch angel of worship (Lucifer, the son of morning), when he was found untruthful, God told him not to continue his service in heavens. Therefore for his survival, he argued with God and pretended as an innocent before the fellow angels. Then he had started his own kingdom of darkness, which Jesus has referred as Satan s native language based world. Through his deceiving words, he had also attracted 1/3 rd of angels from heavenly worlds (Revelation :4) into darkness (a life without light). His (Satan) tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. When a dog wags (swing) its tail, it displays its gratitude and loyalty. Satan trapped these angels, who God s Angels Dec 20

8 had worked under him in his favor by exploiting their gratitude and loyalty to him, telling lies and promising lustful pleasures. In fact we receive much more clarity on this subject, when we read Ezekiel 28:-16. Lucifer was a guardian cherub, anointed by Father God (verse ); he was driven out of the holy place (God s Eden) and removed from his position (verse 16). But the issue was unsolved because the truth, Father God, Son of God, and Holy Spirit only knew. The truth was that Lucifer became Satan, an enemy to Godly system; a betrayer was born to build a rebellious kingdom. Satan s ideas, plans were totally self-centric, lustful, self-pride, illusion, fascination, etc. Some angels, who served God under the leadership of Lucifer were indeed fascinated by his plans and joined with the devil in his fight with God. Therefore, a rebellious kingdom was born; God calls Satan s kingdom as kingdom of darkness, because its inhabitants have rejected God s word. Those, who reject God s word (Jesus Christ), even today would become the native of the kingdom of darkness. Jesus Said: God called then gods (sons of God), to whom the word of God came (John :35). Paul has reassured this point in Romans 8:-16 that those, who are led by the Spirit of God, are sons of God. Indeed, the Holy Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God s children. Also, in 1 st John 5:6, we learn the following: And it is the Spirit, who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. Further in 1 st Timothy 3:16, Paul clarifies on the mystery of godliness as, He appeared in a body (Flesh), was vindicated by Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. Now God s righteousness has been revealed both in the spiritual worlds as well as in the physical world (Earth). He was already justified in spiritual form. When Satan did not accept his sinful state, he blasphemed against Holy Spirit. Jesus said about such peoples: I tell you the truth (God was vindicated by Spirit), all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven to them. But whoever blasphemes (angels or men) against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin (Mark 3:28, 29). It is therefore apparent that Satan had complained against the Holy Spirit, who was dwelling in Jesus, the King of Kings (Psalms 2:6) and in the Father Almighty God. That s why God had commenced the following missions. As Holy Spirit (Creation): for the creation of new world (Physical) and establish the believers of God s word (Spiritual) As Son of God (Salvation): to remove the disbelief and replace fear, seeded by Satan with faith on the physical world As Holy Spirit (Resurrection): to prepare the faithful people (Church) from the earth and move them up to heavenly places for the great judgment day to be declared on the physical world When Adam and Eve had sinned, immediately the fear occupied in their mind and they could not be able to stand before God s presence; therefore they hid themselves (Genesis 3:). Even after 6000 years of humans creation, we fail to understand God s plan of planting the two trees in the Eden Garden to examine the righteous state of human mind. The human consists of two distinctive systems; the inner one is spiritual (mind and soul) and it works closely with our heart to generate the thoughts. God s Angels Dec 20

9 These thoughts are made as commands after mind process them; using these processed commands, our physical body functions. Paul writes clearly how these commands are controlling our life in Romans 7:,. Let us understand the law and command properly. The law controls our spiritual system, just being from outside; however, the command controls it staying inside. However, commands are generated based on laws; they are executable thoughts. When God gave the law of life and the law of death through those visible fruits from the trees, he allowed Adam to generate the required righteous thought and subsequently the command for his life. Until Adam had put his trust on God s word, he executed that right command (refer to block diagram). Now Adam behaved righteously and was vindicated by Spirit; i.e. led by the Spirit of God; he was indeed a perfect son of God. Characteristically, before committing sin, Lucifer was behaving perfectly like Adam in the heavenly places. Adam was given a partner and she also behaved perfectly, following Adam. Since Adam was fruitful, he multiplied spiritually. They witnessed God s love on the earth in Eden. Thus God had established a godly system on the earth. With God s word, a godly system was running peacefully on faith. When Satan the devil intercepted with Eve, he proposed another law of life with no death; a false propaganda on eternity. According to Genesis 3:5, Satan had convinced Eve that she would receive a heavenly life like him, only if she looks at the other option. Here the devil made an attempt to generate a new command in Eve s mind. Remember, just hearing an external law does not produce any command; unless we post our faith on the proposed law or disbelieve the existing law or ignore the old law. Satan utilized a fact in the Garden; i.e. both Adam and Eve had not seen the death so far. Therefore, they were not afraid of death. In fact the same conditions were prevailed in the minds of those angels, who followed Satan in heavenly places. God s Angels Dec 20

10 When Eve accelerated her thinking on Satan s proposal, first of all she ignored God s word and distanced herself from Adam. As a result she developed her native language. Let us examine the sequences carefully. She watched the fruit on her freewill She appreciated the fruit as good in her heart (she assumed herself on par with God at this stage to develop command) She felt that the appearance of the fruit was appealing (pleasing to the eye) and got attracted towards it (Satanic nature developed; Satan developed the desire to have glory for his name) She developed willfully the desire to have the knowledge to be like God The moment the wicked command, you (I) will be like God, developed, she could not control her mind and heart and just followed Satan. Outside laws are the resources to our thought life system in order to produce commands, which are executable in nature. Executable thoughts demand God s judgment because they transform God given life either righteous or wicked. Therefore, it was concluded by the Spirit of God that Satan wanted to be like God to receive glory for his name. The thoughts generated by Satan were transferred into the mind of Eve in order to violate the godly system. After Holy Spirit had demonstrated how the godly system functioning perfectly on faith mode, permitted the devil to intercept with it. On his own freewill, Satan got trapped and exposed his wicked heart to the God s angels. In this process, the heavenly worlds have understood how a godly system becomes ungodly. When a child is born, it is godly because only Spirit (life) is given; it will become characteristic only when this life grows as a Soul. In the seasonal life, the Spirit gets continuously loaded with words and thoughts to develop a working thought life system. The thought life system involves words, mind, heart and freewill; eyes, ears, skin, nose and tongue will act as input organs; brain is the storage device of developed images (processed thoughts) for the physical world. Satan made a brave attempt to deceive the Children of God, Adam and Eve that they were not living like angels (Genesis 3:5); only if they violate God s law, they would receive such a heavenly life. Indeed, it was a lie. After the violation, the humans started their physical life (Genesis 4:1), by losing a heavenly life. In their journey towards creating the physical world, God did not totally let them go without any help. The humans had the counseling of Holy Spirit and guidance of Christ Jesus (God s word). But the humans, time and again used to choose bad over good; it is historical. 0 God s Angels Dec 20

11 4.0 Well wishers from God After humans disobeyed God s word and unknowingly landed with the company of Satan, God had decided to send well wishers from heavens. God knew that certainly the devil would not allow the humans to follow the path, which he had announced in the Eden garden. The seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent. Remember that Lucifer was the chief or high priest and the prime minister to the King of Kings that is our Lord Jesus Christ. Since he wanted to be above his master, he became enemy to the godly system, which Father, Son and Holy Spirit had built. In order to set right the anomalies induced by the devil in the godly system, the divine family took a holy mission to clean up the evilness in the universe through righteous judgment. As the result, first Lucifer was judged as an ungodly person; that is declared as Satan. So that he would never see light in his life time. God is the light; until God s glory was shined upon Lucifer, he was a son of morning. The moment he took an opposite journey, God permitted him to go on his own way. Possibly his planet (Kingdom of darkness) might be the black hole in the universe? God predicted interestingly one thing after seeing Adam s loneliness that it was not good for man to be left alone; so He gave Adam a partner; similarly He had foreseen the evil plan in Satan s mind to 0 God s Angels Dec 20

12 destroy the humans on the earth completely (John 8:44). Therefore, God decided to send His good angels to teach humans: What is good ; so that the humans could avoid bad things (materials/ thoughts) in their life. In fact the first generation behaved very badly, ignoring God s plan (Genesis 4:8; I John 3:). Humans were needed to offer a blooded sacrifice in order to admit their disobedience past to build a good future. God indeed showed Adam and Eve that blooded sacrifice was the only way to receive God s forgiveness (Genesis 3:21). Really then what had happened? When Cain did not like a good man Abel to live on the earth, who had worshipped God with a blooded sacrifice, he had decided to kill Abel. God in fact instructed Cain not to become an enemy to the Godly system (Genesis 4:7). If we do good thing, then we would certainly defeat the bad i.e. the devil. Otherwise, the sin is just near to our door (outside of our heart). As the Sciences teach us, actually bible does not support any evolutionary process. The humans did not possibly have any Stone Age, Metal Age, Electronic Age, and the current Smart and Nano age etc. God had sent his angels to teach the humans, how to lead a good physical life according to the needs of each generation and the geo-political/economic changes. The Holy Bible has the following records about the ancient peoples: In Genesis 4:2 - Involved in Agricultural and Cattle breeding In Genesis 4:17- Cain had built a city In Genesis 4:20 - Humans started Cattle breeding profession In Genesis 4:21- Humans entered into entertainment world (music/dance) In Genesis 4:22 - Humans opened up metal industry When God was teaching the humans how to do good things on the earth through his angels, Satan started destroying their minds with his evil plans. Cain was the first one to terminate a human life on the earth; he perfectly became a victim of Satan and also had revealed the devil s plan. Lamech (5 th generation), an heir of Cain killed a man of another sect from Adam. Satan started fusing the evil thoughts into the minds of the humans through his demons (fallen angels). The devil wanted to kill every human s physical life so that their spiritual life (Soul) would not go to heaven. Bible has the clear record that every soul that left the earth, went to hell until the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Nevertheless Genesis 4:26 says that humans started worshiping God on the earth. This was possible because God had sent the good angels for preaching his words to the humans. 4.1 What happened then to these well wishers? Both Jude (1:6) and Peter (II Peter 2:4, 5) have written about these well wishers of humans, who were sent by God to help them, learning good things. They were indeed the connecting spiritual leaders between humans and God in the ancient times. They were the servants of God to teach God s word and the blessing to humans. They were sons of God (Genesis 6:2). Jude writes as follows: And the angels, who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home these he (God) has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great day (Final judgment day). These angels came from heavens with the following missions: Preach God s word and conduct worship 0 God s Angels Dec 20

13 Teach the use of materials/minerals of the world for good purpose Cultivation of different crops Build houses, health care etc Avoid confrontation, war etc Maintain peace, joy and happiness to have a civilized societies However, they were not allowed to have a physical life (partner) like the man and woman; because their sole purpose was to teach humans about God s plan. They were supposed to have a life like Adam and Eve, what they had inside the Eden. Gabriel delivered God s word faithfully to Virgin Mary as the servant of God; similar to him were these angels; indeed these angels were perfectly following God s instructions until Satan polluted their minds with his corruptive thoughts. The devil spoiled their minds with different life theory again (Genesis 6:2) and tempted them to look at the beauty of the daughters of men. Any physical input (thought) to a spiritual soul would develop a physical feeling. Let us understand that these angels were given authority over physical world i.e. to control such temptations. But they had lost it because they executed on freewill their own thoughts. The lust of the world had defeated their delightful heavenly life. Peter writes that except the 8 members of Noah s family, no other flesh was saved; all the humans were destroyed, including these angels, who were caught as disobedient. These angels were not demons but those who were sent by God to serve the humans as the brothers of our Lord Jesus Christ. When these angels were tempted to have a physical life on the earth they liked the evil idea. As the result they had lost the God s glory; that is living with God s Spirit (Holy). Angels are different kinds of creations in heavenly places; they are brothers and are energy conservative systems. Woman was created out of man, for the man, not for the angels and she should be the glory of man. On the other hand, every angel is a brother to another one. God was displeased with these angels, who followed the devil s word. All the ungodly will be judged for their sins, for being disobedient in their flesh. There is no escape. Conclusion Humans were created as God s angels on the earth; behold they did not post trust on God s word and they had lost the God s glory. God sent well wishers from heavens to teach the humans on the earth about good things and gave them eternal words to avoid evil and sinful life. Unfortunately those angels were also trapped by the devil and are waiting for God s judgment. Who can then save the humans from the devil? God selected a faithful man, called Abraham and came in that family nearly 2000 years before. The Son of God came in flesh as a well wisher of humans to destroy the devil s plan in flesh, which is condemned by God. The blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed on the cross of Calvary, has been accepted as the atoning sacrifice for all our sins. If our sins are washed by the blood of Christ Jesus in faith, then we become eligible to receive His Spirit that is holy. Living in Christ means that holding God s Spirit in our heart. By this way we become God s own Children to go and live as God s angels in heavenly places. Praise the Lord Amen 0 God s Angels Dec 20
