Can An Angel Be Your Friend And Tell You That He Is Your Angel?
Answer: In the Bible, we learn that God wants to be good friends with people.
He doesn’t give that job to angels. God called Abraham his friend. God spoke to Moses in the way that a man would speak to a friend.
That’s what he wants with us, too. God’s angels do his work, but they don’t try to become friends with us because the one looking for our friendship is God.
If God has given you an angel, you won’t see that angel or talk to him.
Key verse: I [Jesus] no longer call you slaves. For a master doesn’t confide in his slaves.
Now you are my friends. This is proved by the fact that I have told you all that the Father told me. (John 15:15)

Do Angels Just Appear For An Instant One Minute And Then Disappear?
Answer: Angels are not ghosts, gods, or superheroes. They serve God and always follow his directions, so they go wherever he says and appear however he tells them to.
They appear to us the way they need to appear to do God’s work.
In the Bible we sometimes read of angels coming and going quickly, but they never did it to show off.
In fact, usually no one saw them appear or disappear.
Key verse: Suddenly, the angel was joined by a great crowd of others. All the armies of Heaven were there! They were praising God. (Luke 2:13)

Note to parents: Some children may ask this question because they think they may have seen an angel, and they want to know if it is possible.
Others may ask this because of the way angels are pictured in movies and television shows.
Emphasize the fact that the only reliable source for our information about angels is the Bible.
Can An Angel Bea Person To Us Like A Real Person?
Answer: Sometimes angels have made themselves look like humans and have appeared to people, That’s how they appeared to Abraham one day.
Abraham was sitting outside his tent when three men walked up and greeted him.
As far as he knew, they were men, perhaps travelers looking for a place to stay.
But in fact, they were angels. That’s why the Bible urges us to be kind and neighborly to visitors.
You never know when a visitor might be an angel. It is possible that you have met an angel and did not know it.
But don’t go looking for angels. Angels almost always stay invisible.
Key verse: Don’t forget to be kind to strangers. Some who have done this have served angels without knowing it! (Hebrews 13:2)
