Are angels real, or are they only symbols of comfort created by human imagination? In The Role of Angels in Our Lives, this profound and thought-provoking essay explores one of the most fascinating and mysterious dimensions of the spiritual world — the active involvement of angels in human life.
Across centuries, cultures, and biblical history, angels have been described as messengers, protectors, warriors, and servants of God. Yet in the modern world, many people have either reduced them to myth or misunderstood their true purpose. This work brings clarity, depth, and spiritual insight to the subject, guiding readers beyond fantasy into the biblical, moral, and personal significance of angelic activity.
The essay examines what Scripture reveals about angels: their origin, their nature, their obedience to God, and their role in the unfolding of divine plans. From protecting individuals in times of danger to delivering messages that change the course of history, angels appear not as distant beings but as part of God's ongoing interaction with humanity. Their presence reminds us that the visible world is only part of reality.
At the same time, the book addresses important questions many believers quietly carry:
Do angels still intervene today?
Can people be unaware of angelic protection?
What is the difference between holy angels and fallen ones?
How should we respond to the unseen spiritual realm without drifting into superstition?
Rather than promoting sensationalism, this essay calls readers back to balance, faith, and discernment. Angels do not replace God, nor do they seek worship — they point humanity toward obedience, reverence, and trust in the Creator. Their ministry highlights God's care, order, and authority over both heaven and earth.
The work also explores the moral dimension of angelic involvement. Angels are portrayed as beings who serve righteousness, justice, and God's purposes. Their actions reveal that human life is not random but observed, valued, and spiritually significant. Even in moments when people feel alone, unseen forces may be at work for protection, guidance, or warning.
Written in a reflective, spiritually grounded tone, The Role of Angels in Our Lives invites readers to deepen their awareness of the unseen dimension without fear. It reassures the faithful, challenges the doubtful, and encourages every reader to live with greater spiritual sensitivity and responsibility.
With this essay, Alberts ultimately points to a powerful truth: heaven is not silent, and God's care for humanity extends far beyond what the eye can see.
