What kind of angels are the good angels?

Share |


The good angels are holy spirits, that God has confirmed in their holiness, so that they are eternally blessed. There is a great number of them and they are very powerful. They praise God and carry out His commands. They were present during the various phases of Christ’s work of redemption and they will accompany Him when He comes for the final Judgment. They also especially serve believers on their journey to heaven.
