Angels Celebrate Our Wonderful Salvation

Dear friends,

“I tell you there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10).

Here is some of the evidence that shows how wonderful our salvation is. When we turned away from sin and placed our trust in Christ, the angels celebrated! They did not worship us, rather they praised God who once again displayed His sovereign grace in rescuing us from sin and hell while making us members of His family through faith in Christ Jesus. Our salvation is to “the praise of His glorious grace” (Eph. 1:12).

Nevertheless, Jesus blesses us by letting us know there was a celebration in heaven as a result of our particular salvation. When a man, woman, or child believes in Jesus it is a significant moment in the universe. Although it may go unnoticed by our fellow humans, it is an important item on the agenda of heaven. The angels rise up with joy and praise God for His work of salvation through the gift of the Savior. There truly are no insignificant Christians. Just ask the angels.

Your friend,

Stephen
