What does Hebrews say about angels and their role?

In Hebrews, we find that angels are described as ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). This emphasizes the role of angels in God's redemptive plan, highlighting their subservient position to believers. The text underscores that angels were never promised authority over the world to come — that privilege is inherently belonging to the Son of Man, and consequently, through Him, to the believers. This distinction reassures us that while we occupy a lower position than angels in this life due to sin, we are elevated above them in Christ's kingdom, which will be fully realized in the world to come.
