What does it mean to have the companionship of angels as believers?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are accompanied by angels, who are ministering spirits sent to support us as heirs of salvation.

The notion of angelic companionship for believers is rooted in Scripture, particularly in Hebrews 12:22, which speaks of an 'innumerable company of angels.' This refers to the role of angels as ministering spirits sent forth to assist those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). While the full nature of angelic ministry is somewhat mysterious, it emphasizes that God provides celestial support to His people. This understanding can bring comfort to believers, knowing that they are not alone in their spiritual journey. The presence of angels, while not to be overly mythologized, serves as a reminder of God's care and the spiritual realities that surround us, encouraging us in our faith.
