Guardian Angels are Biblical

English: Parish church Saint Oswald: Guardian ...
The Guardian - Your Angel
My cousin once told me she couldn’t wait to get to heaven when she would be changed into an angel and fly on wings.  Is that what will happen to us?  

The Bible makes it clear that you and I are human, and angels are, well angels.We will always be human and they will always be angels.In fact, their job is to serve us.  The concept of guardian angels is found in Hebrews 1:14.  They are “ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation.”  Jay Quine writes so that we will realize we live in a spiritual world, and have angelic guardians.  You will never be one, but angels are in some way serving us even now.  

Is one in your car next to you, or is he riding on the hood.  Thank God for your guardian. 

Hebrews 1:14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

What are you? A monster?

Painting by Rembrandt of Paul, one of the most... Rembrandt's portrayal of Paul: the chief of sinners. Posted by Jay QuineA salmon can swim in the ocean, up rivers and lakes. But no fish can leap out of the water, fly through the air and make a nest like a bird. It is a fish, not a bird! Even if it studied the habits of birds, it would still fail, because it’s not a bird. Even if it pasted feathers on his scales and tried to get out of the water, it would end up dead on the beach. Fish stink at being birds.


So it is with us. Our problem is what we are, nor how hard we try. The Bible says what we ARE is unrighteous. No matter how we try, we cannot change what we ARE. For a salmon to be a bird it would have to be reborn as a bird. So for us to be righteous we must be born again as righteous. Without rebirth we are all unrighteous. It is not surprising then that Jesus said, "You must be born again." Remember the word "unrighteous," and be born again by believing in Jesus, The righteous. 

Romans 3:9-10 "We have demonstrated that both Jews and Gentiles are ALL UNDER (the dominion, power and authority of) sin; as it is written, there are not righteous, no not one." (parenthesis added)
