4. The state of their creation
Question : Were angels created good and holy in their original state?
Answer : Yes
Genesis 1:31
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. And there was
evening, and there was morning —the sixth day."
Job 38:7
"while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?"
B. Nature of Angels
1. Angels are created beings (Gen. 2:1; Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16)
• They are not eternal spirits (as God, who is the uncreated,
eternal Spirit)
2. Angels are incorporeal/spiritual
• They do not consist of matter, having a material body or substance;
they are spirits.
a. Hebrews 1:14
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will
inherit salvation?"
b. Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against
evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers
in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
