ANGELS

All About Heavenly Guardian Angels

Heavenly angels, often referred to as guardian angels, are mentioned numerous times in the Scriptures. Therein we learn that angels are spiritual beings created by God to serve him, and sent by God to watch over the human race, to deliver his message, to guard and protect us from danger, to do battle with other spiritual beings on our behalf.

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
