Why do we worship Christ instead of angels?

Answered in 1 source

We worship Christ because He is the eternal Son of God, far superior to angels, who are created beings.

Worship is due only to God, and in Hebrews 1, it is made clear that Christ, as the eternal Son of God, has a status that is unmatched by any created being, including angels. The angels are portrayed as ministering spirits, but Christ is identified as God's Son, deserving of worship and honor from all creation. This distinction is vital for understanding the nature of our worship; it centers solely on the divine and sovereign majesty of Christ, who has authority over all, including the angels. This recognition elevates our understanding of who Christ is and the honor that He rightfully holds.
