Angels witness and are involved in significant events during the salvation process, such as announcing Christ's birth and resurrection.
Throughout Scripture, angels are depicted as witnesses to key events in the narrative of salvation. For instance, they announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds (Luke 2:10-14) and proclaimed His resurrection (Matthew 28:5-7). Additionally, angels serve a ministerial role, attending to Jesus during His earthly ministry (Matthew 4:11, Luke 22:43). Their involvement emphasizes the heavenly significance of God's redemptive work. Furthermore, 1 Timothy 3:16 highlights that Jesus was seen by angels, indicating their observation of the entire redemptive process. This divine interaction not only illustrates the glory of salvation but also reminds believers of the unseen world that rejoices over the redemption of sinners (Luke 15:10).
