When you lose a child, some say, "heaven needed more angels".
Although that is a sweet sentiment and people are so dear to strive to offer some comfort- but;
Charity is not and never was an angel. And I rejoice in it! Do you know why?
Christ didn't die for the angels. He died for you, and Charity and all of us "people"
Because she is not an angel, His sacrifice was propitiation for her sin.
Pastor Rodley spoke today of the seraphim in Isaiah who are not worthy to look upon Jesus who is high and lifted up on His throne. We however, the scriptures say, may come boldly before His throne! Wow! Praise The Lord that we are people, His brethren, and NOT just angels!

Thanks for this post, as it is a very important distinction to make! Scripture tells us very clearly that humans are higher than the angels; clearly they are a separate species.
Thank you for sharing this amazing and vital truth Adams family! It's opened my eyes to more of just how great is the grace of God to all of us and that indeed, by Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, we can look on the face of God and that we are His adopted children.
Thank you for posting this! The Church has become misinformed on this topic so much so that *every* time now, I see a comment like this. And when those people are in the midst of grief and trying to say something encouraging, I never know how to respond...and I feel that in not responding, I'm perpetuating the idea. Thank you for speaking on it.
Yes!
