Jude 9/26/71

 

DOCTRINE OF THE SUPERIORITY OF ANGELS

 

A.  Angels are superior to man by creation, Heb 2:7,9.

 

B.  Christ in His First Advent was made lower than angels, Heb 2:9,16.

 

C.  By death, resurrection, ascension, and session, the humanity of Christ became superior to angels, Heb 1:4-8,13; 2:14.

 

D.  Every believer is in union with Christ, Eph 1:6; 1 Cor 1:2, 30.

 

E.  Therefore, every believer is positionally superior to angels at salvation. This is why every believer has a guardian angel, Heb 1:14.

 

F.  Through ultimate sanctification, the believer will be physically superior to angels for all eternity.
