How do we know that Christ is better than the angels?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that Christ is better than the angels, as He is the Son of God and was commanded to be worshipped by them.

Hebrews articulates the superiority of Christ over angels by establishing His divine sonship and unique role in creation. In Hebrews 1:5-14, it is noted that God never declared any angel to be His son, but designated Christ as His begotten Son, a status that underlines His preeminence. Furthermore, angels are portrayed as ministering spirits created to serve God's elect, whereas Christ is the sovereign King who deserves worship and adoration from all creation. This distinction not only reinforces the value of Christ’s work but also emphasizes His divine authority, which surpasses that of the angels. His role as Savior thus highlights both His deity and His humanity, making Him central to God’s redemptive plan.
