Subject: Why angels are not forgiven? |
Bible Note: Thanks Dairyleader, I'm still thinking about this! Man's purpose is to reflect the glory of God as He was made in God's image, unlike the angels, as Pastor Glenn pointed out, they were spirit beings without a physical nature such as ours . . . when the Bible is silent about an issue, I suspect that God has a purpose for keeping this information from us, but we can be sure that is is for our benefit! (Rom 8:28) As I contemplate the rejection of God by these angelic beings, I am astonished for they were in the very presence of the LORD! And yet we too are without excuse!How I praise God for His love, mercy and grace - extended to me, a sinner! Forgiveness is a beautiful experience is it not?! mommapbs |
