Understanding angels is a difficult task, and we may never have all the answers, but their appearances throughout Scripture give many insights into who they are and what they do. Whether angels have souls is not addressed in the Bible, but we can hypothesize.

God created angels, just as He created everything else (Colossians 1:16). He commands them, and they obey (Psalm 91:11; 103:20–21). They fight for God and protect His people (2 Kings 6:16–17; Psalm 91:11–12; Daniel 6:22; Matthew 26:53). They also act as messengers, bringing the word of God to people through dreams, visions, or simply by appearing before them (Matthew 1:20; 2:13; Luke 1:11–20; Acts 1:10–11; 8:26). We know that angels are spiritual beings, as Scripture describes them as “ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). The holy angels worship God (Job 38:7; Psalm 148:2; Luke 2:13–14; Revelation 5:11–12), but they do not receive worship for themselves (Revelation 19:10). While all these characteristics are remarkable, they do not answer questions about angels’ souls.

The Bible is unclear as to the exact nature of the soul, other than its being part of the spiritual nature of mankind. However, we can surmise that the soul is the central part of our personhood. People themselves are referred to as “souls” (Acts 2:41, NKJV). A human’s soul is immaterial and immortal; it persists after the human body dies (Daniel 12:2; 2 Corinthians 5:8–9). Angels are personal, spiritual beings (Hebrews 1:14), and they are immortal (Luke 20:36). However, Scripture never refers to angels as “souls,” and it seems the immaterial nature of angels is not the same thing as the immaterial human soul. Human beings are unique among creation because they are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Angels are a separate order of being, different from humans. People will not turn into angels at death, and angels will never become human. This clear distinction and the centrality of a soul in humanity would seem to indicate that angels do not have souls.

There are other biblical hints that angels are without souls. Human souls need atonement (Leviticus 17:11, NKJV), God protects and purifies souls (Titus 3:5; Hebrews 10:21–22), and a soul can be either lost or saved (Ezekiel 18:4; James 1:21). None of these qualities of the soul apply to angels. Angels do not need to be purified, atoned for, or saved. Hebrews 1—2 describes how Jesus is superior to angels and teaches that His salvation is for humans, not angels: “The Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham” (Hebrews 2:16, NLT). The angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6). God “makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire” (Hebrews 1:7). Holy angels serve those who are saved (Hebrews 1:14), but they themselves do not need salvation. This may be a further indication that angels do not have souls.

A point of clarification is in order. It is true that there are fallen angels who do not serve God and are, in fact, His enemies. We might think that these fallen angels need “salvation”; however, there is no indication in the Bible that they would ever seek to repent or that God has provided a way of salvation for them. They will be judged (2 Peter 2:4), and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity (Revelation 20:7–15). Humans, on the other hand, do have the opportunity to avoid judgment through the blood of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:1–10; Romans 8:1; 10:9–13; John 3:16–18; 1 John 2:2). All who turn to God and put their faith in Jesus will be saved. Praise God that, in His grace, He has made a way for us to be saved and to dwell with Him forever (Revelation 21:1–4; John 14:3; Philippians 1:21–23).

The Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the listener to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life.

Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing. When something—or everything—feels stuck because God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what next? Pastor and Grammy-nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers—Are we praying for the right thing? Are we planning and preparing for what we've asked for? Are we praying for our will to grow closer to His? Or do we sometimes treat him like a genie in a bottle? Using Biblical examples, Travis invites listeners to reconsider our prayers and

navigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God’s purposes;
learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost;
be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; and
believe in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided.

Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us—something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages listeners that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize. Management can be a magnet for miracles.

Now that Nora is not dead, only one question remains: What does she want to do with her life?

Nora November is alive—but she wasn’t always. She was once clinically dead, having spent several minutes under water after a terrible surfing accident she doesn’t remember. What she does remember from her time in a coma is her grandfather, who passed away over a year ago. And a beautiful garden. And the most delicious tomato she ever tasted.

Now that she’s awake again her life has been cleaved in two. In the Before, Nora lived like a ghost, drowning under the weight of her parents’ expectations. In the After, she’s determined to accomplish the things she left undone before she died. Her reverse bucket list is simple: She wants to learn to cook and to be a better older sister to Lacey. She wants to quit her terrible job as a personal injury lawyer at her dad’s firm. She wants to bring Grandpa’s now-neglected garden back to life. And she wants to find the guy she met in a corner store months ago—the one she never called but never stopped thinking about.

As Nora’s attempts at a new life prove disastrous at best, her mission to fulfill her reverse bucket list leads her to a reckoning with the truth she almost hid from herself.

Keith Muoki is a KJV bible believer saved by grace through faith preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He lives in Nairobi, Kenya, and preaches on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Bitchute.

Keith got saved on the 6th of June 2020 from the teachings of Robert Breaker after having been in the pentecostal religion for over 30 years and never having heard the gospel preached in detail.

He was always convinced that the sinner's prayer saved him but kept on being worried about his stand with Christ. On the 6th of June 2020, God used Robert breaker through his YouTube teachings and that's the day he first understood the gospel and got saved. Since then, he has never looked back and keeps on preaching every day enlightening others who are bound by religion like he was.
