“For it is clear that He does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring.” Hebrews 2:16 HCSB
How clear is it that Jesus does not reach out to help angels, but to help people? Jesus did come to take on the form of a man. He did not come as an angel in the flesh, but He took on the flesh and blood of man. He became fully man while maintaining being fully God. He had to learn in the sight of God and man.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.”
Luke 2:52 HCSB
He also did not help the angels when they sinned. He was not crucified for their sins. When Satan desired to take God’s throne by force He was hurled out of heaven along with the third of the angels who decided to follow him. We have no record, in the Bible that I know of, of God offering forgiveness after they were kicked out of heaven. I am sure that God would have given them a chance before He kicked them out. But God did not do this for man. The angels knew what they were doing. But Adam and Eve and the rest of Mankind were tricked into following Satan. But God did not leave us to our own devices. He sent His Son to us to restore the broken relationship between Him and us.
“Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’? ”
So the Lord God asked the woman, “What is this you have done? ” And the woman said, “It was the serpent. He deceived me, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Genesis 3:1, 13-15 HCSB
“For if God didn’t spare the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus and delivered them to be kept in chains of darkness until judgment;”
2 Peter 2:4 HCSB
God has given and will give us plenty of opportunities to repent. He will have compassion for us. But there will be a time that God will say enough and will judge us by obedience to His word. Those who are found faithful will step into eternal life. Those who are not faithful will step into eternal punishment designed for the devil and His angels.
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!”
Matthew 25:34, 41 HCSB
So it is clear that God would rather help, forgive, Humans and not the fallen angels. Will we be willing to accept His forgiveness?
