    Good teaching.
    Angels do minister to us, but Jesus by his Spirit does so much more, and we should focus on him. And, in any case, when angels do minister to us, they will have been sent by Jesus anyway.

    What I appreciate about this response is not only Pastor Piper’s Biblical survey of angelic ministry throughout the Bible, but answers this question in a way that was pastoral. It’s not just affirming the possible presence and visitation of angels in our lives, but Piper pointing out that call to hospitality with Christ’s words in mind. He really delineated for me between a tendency to speculate about “an angelic host” during hospitality moments versus the actual call of obedience. Thank you Pastor Jay.

    Well done. God’s interaction with man is the main focus of the Word, while everything else are secondary aspects in service to this main focus. Our relationship with God (or lack thereof), more than any other spiritual reality like the looming presence of angels and demons, is what makes the ordinary life extraordinary.

    For anyone interested, I made a video using the Scriptures to show fallen angels walk amongst us pretending to be humans just like the movie They Live.
    I believe there is a veil separating the spirtual realm with our physical world. That separation is caused by the restrainer who is restraining back the spiritual realm from us. Once the restrainer is moved out of the way, The Wicked will be revealed, ie the fallen angels and demons will be revealed and the time of the Great Tribulation will begin.

    I had two experiences with suspected angels on public transit.
    1) a dark skinned lady with an apparent mental illness was crying out for someone to help her get back to her hostel. At times she was scarcely aware of her surroundings, having zoned out and singing "Jesus was a sailor man and he wanted us to go sailing with him."
    When I volunteered to help her and sat beside her, it was several minutes before she paid attention to me. Out of the blue she suddenly focused all her attention on me and asked, "Do you know Jesus?"
    I said, "Yes, he saved my life several times." When I finished speaking, she zoned out again and began singing. She wouldn't get off the bus when we arrived at her stop.
    2) I was sitting at the back of the bus and there was a middle aged Caucasian man, somewhat unbecoming, and speaking without an accent, who was attempting to engage a young Asian lady in conversation who was distracted with her phone.
    He was asking her, "What are these things that everyone is holding? Are those the smart phones? What do they tell you?" At that point I had to disembark.

      First off, we can never know for sure. Regardless, we are to focus our attention on Christ, not on potential or apparent angelic encounters.
      Second, there are specific details of my experiences that suggest their authenticity.
      1) A lady who is scarcely aware of her surroundings suddenly focused her entire attention on me only to spread the awareness of Christ. Who's to say the illness was faked?
      2) A man with no foreign accent and still young enough to have basic knowledge of local culture didn't know what cell phones are or how they're used. That seems very unusual not only to me but to many others with whom I have shared these encounters.

    "The Angel of the LORD," I just wanted to say, refers to Jesus Christ. This is why when Manoah and his wife saw The Angel of the Lord, they said, "Woe to us! For we have seen The Angel of the Lord!" Because even in Isaiah, he saw The King, but his unclean lips were atoned for by the hot burning coal, signifying Christ's atonement. The Angel of The LORD said, "fear not, make a burnt offering." The need of the burnt offering means that they saw God. When Daniel saw the Angel Gabriel, did he need to make a burnt offering for seeing it? No.

    I'm sure Piper means well, but that's a bit of a stretch to assume because Angels aren't mentioned in particular epistles that their roles have diminshed somehow or we shouldn't focus on them. The NT is explicit that there are angels that they do minister and aide believers. This can't be disputed. As far as the letters, what reason would these men of God have to talk about them in their letters? The letters are singular in focus. They seem to talk about specific things when being addressed to specific churches. That doesn't mean that the writers WEREN'T aware of angles or that they thought that angles shouldn't be discussed. It's a false equivalency.

    Using the context of Paul’s letters alone to downplay the ministry of angels is a bit misguiding,
    Still on context, Paul primary assignment was the edification and consolidation of the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. So naturally, the focus of his letter will be focus on that, hence the absence of Angels in his letters

But the wilful sinner who repents is still saved over one who doesn’t repent. We need not do anything to sin but have a thought alone. The condition of our hearts are sinful.

      @codyvandal2860 3 года назад +3

      I commend your zeal but caution you to understand something of real importance that the brother above me is saying. If salvation were through works no one could make the cut. Consider the thief on the cross - he was alread nailed when he confessed to Christ and accepted Him as savior. He never got to do a good work. We never got to see his redeemed Christian walk on this planet. He is the last man to accept Christ before our Lord died on the cross.
      A more clear way of understanding Christ is that *if* you have truly believed then you *will* change and fo good works and so forth. But no number of those works will in themselves contribute to your salvation. They may however lead to greater (unknown) rewards in heaven by your earthly service to our King. (the parable of the ten minas)

    • @maxaplin4204
      @maxaplin4204 3 года назад +1

      It is true that genuine, saving faith is always accompanied by good deeds. James tells us that faith without actions is dead (Jas 2:17, 26). And Jesus tells us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matt 5:48), which is a goal we should strive to get ever closer towards.
      But on the other hand, it is not reasonable to think that we will literally stop committing all sins this side of death or the Lord's return. In Jas 3:2 James says:
      'For we all stumble in many ways.'
      Stumbling here refers to committing unpremeditated sins of short duration, and James is clear that this is something we will continue to do.
      So we should certainly strive for greater holiness and towards perfection. Those who are not doing this demonstrate clearly that they have no saving faith. But it is a big mistake to think that we will reach moral perfection before we die.

      See in Matt 7:21 how Jesus refers to doing the will of his Father, and then in v. 23 he implicitly describes those who don't do the will of his Father as 'lawbreakers'. This shows that moral actions are in view in the reference to doing his Father's will.

    Do angels walk among us as humans? Probably never.

This was an extremely rare circumstance.
    God has no enemies. If He did they would instantly cease to exist.

    The Gospel:
    Plain and
    Simple
    “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
    beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your
    minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
    that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3
    Ask someone today if they are saved and
    you will most likely hear responses like these:
    “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I
    have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been
    baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good
    and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-
    termine whether or not a person actually
    knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what
    the gospel is and has left a devastating effect
    of people not knowing what it is that they are
    saved from nor how they are saved; which
    leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation.
    Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church
    sounding phrases that do not communicate
    anything. But rather present God’s word with
    clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel:
    plain and simple.
    Sin was passed upon all men by one man
    Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin
    (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of
    condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of
    this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good
    works one might do we are still found sinners
    in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found
    righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even
    one law we are found guilty.
    It is for this reason of not being able to
    create our own righteousness and being born
    in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus
    3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in
    the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross
    2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath
    and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial,
    and resurrection on our behalf that we are
    able to have peace with God and forgiveness
    of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good
    news is unto all but only those that believe in
    it are made righteous in Christ (Romans
    3:22).
    It is then after we have heard this good
    news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit
    and we are now part of Christ’s body the
    church (Eph 1:13)
    There is nothing that we need to do, no
    good works that are required, and no bad
    works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39).
    Faith and belief in this information from
    God’s word is the gospel.
    The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your
    heart. The gospel is not making him lord of
    your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not
    being baptized with water.
    So next time someone asks you if you are
    saved. Give them the clear assured answer
    “Yes! And let me tell you why!”
