TOPIC :✨SUPERIOR TO ANGELS✨

SCRIPTURE📖 :Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life (1 Corinthians 6:3).

This scripture indicates that Christians will indeed judge angels. We will be seated together with Christ on thrones, and we shall judge the world and judge angels according to the Scriptures.

Does this imply that Christians are superior to God's angels? Yes, and our superiority is the result of our identity, our oneness with Christ. We're joint heirs with Christ, born of the Spirit of God. Unlike the angels who are servants of God, we're God's children: The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:16-17 NKJV).

The Bible says, the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever (John 8:35). And 1 John 3:2 says, Beloved, now are we the sons of God... we have the rights and privileges of sonship. We're one with Christ, and He has given us His authority; we live and function in His Name.

Some have asked for clarification with reference to Matthew 22:30 which indicates that at the resurrection we would be as angels. You have to understand the context: it says, For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Here, Jesus was responding to a question about marriage after resurrection, but He clarified that in the resurrection, we won't be bound by earthly institutions like marriage. Instead, we will be like the angels, without gender, and will not engage in marriage.

This doesn't mean we will drop in rank to the status of angels but that we'll transcend earthly distinctions. In the resurrection, we'll be like God, who is neither male nor female. Presently, the angels are sent to serve us: But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:13-14).

                                   PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for making me a joint heir with Christ, seated in heavenly places with Him, living and walking in the authority in His Name. I walk in the consciousness of my divine nature and live victoriously, reigning in life through Christ. Thank you for my divine oneness with you, my position, authority and inheritance in Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

1 John 3:1-2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Romans 8:16-17 NIV The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
