Angelology - Part 1

Grace Chapel Wilsonville

In today’s world, definitions of right and wrong are constantly shifting, especially when it comes to love, morality, and identity. A biblical worldview helps us navigate these changes by grounding us in God’s unchanging truth. It’s more than using Bible words—it’s about understanding their true meaning and applying them to our lives.

One clear example is love. Society often redefines love to suit cultural trends, making it self-serving or conditional. But biblical love, modeled by Christ, is sacrificial and rooted in truth. As believers, we must examine whether we are embracing a cultural version of love or living out its true biblical meaning.

Every day, we’re engaged in spiritual warfare. While angels serve as messengers of truth, demons spread deception. Recognizing the spiritual battle behind everyday struggles—whether it’s anxiety, identity issues, or fear—reminds us that Jesus has already won the war. We fight from victory, not for it.

Discernment is key to navigating these battles. The Bible teaches that behind the physical world lies a spiritual realm, with unseen forces at work (Colossians 1:16). By developing spiritual discernment, we can see beyond the surface of world events and personal challenges and respond in a way that aligns with God’s truth.

Ultimately, having a biblical worldview helps us live in the freedom Christ offers. It anchors us in truth, giving us the confidence to face challenges with clarity and hope, no matter how the world redefines its values.
