Imagine what an angel looks like - then watch to see if you're right.
Key Points:
- What do angels look like? We all have cultural images of what we think angels might look like. But in the Bible angels never appear as women or children, and they never have halos around their heads. They never play harps, although sometimes they blow trumpets.
- What is an angel? The Greek word for “angel” is “angelos,” (ἄγγελος) which simply means “messenger.” Angels are immortal spirit beings created by God who live with him in heaven.
- Why did God create angels? God made angels to serve him and to serve us.
Quote This:
Hebrews 1:14 (NIV) Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
