Angels Do Exist!
• “I am convinced that
these heavenly beings
exist and that they
provide unseen aid on
our behalf. I do not
believe in angels
because someone has
told me about a
dramatic visitation from
an angel, as impressive
as such rare
testimonies may be . . .Billy Graham
• “I do not believe in
angels because I have
ever seen one—
because I haven’t. I
believe in angles
because the Bible
says there are angels;
and I believe the Bible
to be the Word of God.
I also believe in angels
because I have
sensed their presence
in my life on special
occasions.”
But They Are Not to be Worshiped!
Romans 1:24-25 warns us about
worshiping the creature instead of the
Creator.
It is a violation of the first commandment to
worship any manifestation of angelic
presence.
We are not to pray to angels, nor confuse
angels with the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 1:1-6
