Are There Angels In This Room With Us?
Answer: Angels aren’t everywhere, so we shouldn’t expect them to be with us at every moment, the way God is.
But angels may be in the room with you right now. Angels can be with us without our knowing about it.
In the Bible story about Balam (Numbers 22:21-41), Balam didn’t know there was an angel with him until God allowed him to see the angel.
Angels are invisible spirits, so we never know exactly where they are.
Key verse: Don’t forget to be kind to strangers. Some who have done this have served angels without knowing it! (Hebrews 13:2)

Do Angels Stay In The Car Or Fly Beside?
Answer: God watches over us, using angels as his servants. If God wants an angel to be with you in the car, that is where the angel will be.
If God wants the angel to be outside the car and moving along at sixty-five miles per hour, that’s where the angel will be.
Angels go wherever God tells them to go.

Do Angels Sin?
Answer: We don’t know if angels can sin anymore. Human beings sin because they have a desire to sin.
That is because after Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, every person ever born has been born a sinner.
Angels are not like human beings, and they don’t have a desire to sin. So it is not natural for angels to disobey God.
The Bible hints that they may be able to do wrong. Satan was once an angel who was thrown out of heaven because he wanted to take God’s place.
And other angels sinned then by following Satan. But can other angels sin now? We don’t know.
We know only that heaven cannot have any sin in it; if it did, it would not be perfect.
Key verse: God cannot even trust his own messengers. Even angels make mistakes! (Job 4:18)
