The Bible reveals that Christians are higher than angels; as a matter of fact, we will judge angels (1 Corinthians 6:3). After the rapture of the Church, we will be seated with Christ on thrones and judge the world, including angels that didn’t obey God.

 

We’re superior to angels on account of our identity with Christ. The Bible says we’re joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17); we’re sons of God (1 John 3:1-3); we’re born of the Spirit of God! The angels are His servants; they are ministering spirits, sent to minister for us, whom the Bible describes as the heirs of salvation. As one who’s born again, you’re directly joined with Christ; you’re one with Him: “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).

 

Angels are powerful. They’re more powerful than we are in might and strength, but we have authority in the Name of Jesus, and the angels are subject to Jesus. They listen to Him and obey Him, and we are in Him. As He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

 

The Name of Jesus is the greatest name in heaven and in the earth, and we live in that Name. This is what makes us superior to angels. It’s not that we achieved it; it’s the result of what Christ Jesus did for us and made of us. This is why it’s scripturally wrong for Christians to pray to angels or pray through them; for we are actually superior to angels.
