Luke 15:10
… there is rejoicing in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
Scripture tells us that the angels marvel over what God has
done out of love and mercy for man. They
cannot understand in the same way as we, as sinful people, understand, but here
we are told that they celebrate our repentance.
It is really special to know that when I, as a six-year-old child
accepted Christ, the angels in heaven celebrated! I was important enough to cause that
celebration! It has been said that if I
were the only sinner on earth, Jesus still would have been willing to die for
me and the fact that the angels celebrate over just one repentance confirms
that for me. It is invigorating
spiritually to know how important my salvation is to God, to Jesus, and to the angels. The angels are so focused on glorifying God
that what I do in response to Him is pleasing to all of heaven and is cause for
celebration.
