Hebrews {1:13} But to which of the angels said he at any times, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
None.
{1:14} Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Angels are ministering spirits.
Ministering spirits sent to minister to those who will be heirs of salvation.
Those who will inherit salvation have the help of ministering spirits, the help of angels.
Angels are real so very real. No, we generally can't see them, and movies have depicted them in many ways- human forms, ghostly spiritual forms, completely invisible. No matter how they're viewed they aren't fictional, they are real.
{2:1} Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
We have to give heed...earnest heed...to the things we've heard. Earnest heed. Not just heed, but earnest heed. We can't let things slip. We can't let salvation be lost to us because we don't listen earnestly to all that is said. Salvation isn't something we can take for granted because it means so much, it means life, it makes life worth living, it make everything have reason, it's not all for naught. All the pain and heartache isn't what life should be we all know that if not readily, deep down. Life wasn't supposed to be this way and it won't be this way, we have salvation through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Hebrews {2:2} For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward
For IF the word spoken by angels was stedfast...and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward...
{2:3} How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him
How shall WE escape...if we neglect so great salvation.
Salvation spoken first by the Lord and confirmed to us by those that heard Him.
{2:4} God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.
God- with signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His will.
{2:5} For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. {2:6} But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?{2:7} Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands{2:8} Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put underhim. But now we see not yet all things put under him. {2:9} But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. {2:10} For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Jesus- for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation prefect through sufferings.
Jesus- wants to save us. Jesus wants us to be brought to glory through Him.
It's not something we can neglect, but something we need to heed earnestly.
God knows us, He knows me, He knows I need Him so desperately and I'm so far from what I should be. Only in Him through faith in Him will Salvation come to us. Faith, belief, God we believe help our unbelief. Have mercy on us Lord. The angels weren't spared, we won't be spared. Your righteousness is all in all through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Please, have mercy on us.
I heard a song on the radio this morning when I was taking my son to school and it said something like this...
'Whatever you're doing inside of me it feels like chaos somehow there's peace it's hard to surrender to what I can't see but I'm giving in to something heavenly'
That part about it feeling like chaos is so true, it really does and while somehow there is peace...it's not always peace we feel, sometimes that chaos is horrific and we just have to hold on tight to Jesus, hold on tight. Praise God, hold on tight.
Amen.
