The Punishment of the Bad Angels
 |
| 19. The Punishment of the Bad Angels ― Easy Index |
The first and chief punishment of the fallen angels in hell is the pain of loss, the deprivation of God and of all that holds from Him, i.e. of all good. Thus are these perverted beings deprived by their own choice of every advantage but bare existence and faculties that belong to their nature.
Consider what is is to lose at once all that is good, and for ever.

The Award of The Judge
|
| 18. The Award of The Judge. ― Easy Index |
When the trial and conflict of angels was over, a separation of good and bad took place.
The "great dragon was cast out, the old serpent . . . and his angels were thrown down with him" The good angels were confirmed in grace and in the possession of heaven.
Thus was evil overthrown once in its conflict with good. So it will be again, and its next overthrow will be final. Do not be discouraged at the temporary pre-eminence of evil. Right and Truth are stronger and must prevail.

Speculations on the Sin of the Angels.
|
| 17. Speculations on the Sin of the Angels. ― Easy Index |
God continually commands you to be lowly-minded, to bow your neck to the yoke, to submit to authority, to make yourself the servant of all.
If you do this you are His.

The Sin of The Angels
|
| 16. The Sin of The Angels. |
Past supernatural graces and the delights of God's friendship are no assurance against a fall. Higher endowments are no preservative, for these are accompanied by greater temptations and more numerous opportunities of sin. Even the cedars of Lebanon have fallen; and those who have eaten the bread of angels have come to lust after the husks of swine.
How horrible that His mercy should meet with such a return of hostility and hatred! Yet it is of daily occurrence. You may yet come to this; strive and pray that you may not.

The Trial and Conflict of The Angels
|
| 15. The Trial and Conflict of The Angels. |
As to men, so also to the angels, a period of probation was appointed, in which they could exercise their liberty of choice, the option between the life of mere nature independent of God, or submission to God with supernatural life.
Your whole life on earth is arranged simply for the solution of this question. Every act of yours contributes towards it.

The Third Hierarchy
|
| 14. The Third Hierarchy. |
The virtues that most strike us in them are their humility in undertaking lowly tasks, such as the guardianship of vile beings so inferior to themselves; their contentment with such duties; their devotion towards their Master, which makes them feel that nothing done for His sake can be ignoble; and the perfections and exactness with which they carry out His smallest commands.
How pleasing to God is such service, and how glorious. Endeavour to serve Him in the same spirit.

The Second Hierarchy
|
| 13. The Second Hierarchy. |
A contest is always in progress between two standards of Christ and Satan. A large portion of mankind have adopted, more or less consciously, the spirit of him who said "I will not serve," and have cast off the yoke which is sweet and the burthen which is light.
As far as you can, promote the reign of God in yourself and others.

The Special Endowments of The Angels
|
| 11.―The Special Endowments of The Angels. |
It is to be remembered that each angel, although excelling in a particular virtue, possesses all others, and is not deficient in any one. Your special virtue must not be your only one; your principal duty must not make you forget minor ones.

Be faithful to every call or grace from God. One step leads on to another. A small initial divergency from the straight line may continue till it becomes a gulf over which no man can pass.

The Movements of The Angels
|
| 8.―The Movements of The Angels. |
No being is useless, or without its special function in carrying on the life and motion of the universe. By analogy those mighty spirits of God must have their uses, and duties proportioned to their great powers. We know that they help us, even in our physical necessities. What else they do we know not; but we can place no limit to the possibilities of their action whether in the spiritual or the material sphere. Lead a life of holiness and prayer like that of the angels, and God will give you great powers and great duties; even material nature will be in some sense subject to you.

The Will and Love in The Angels
|
| 7.―The Will and Love in The Angels. |
The angels possess this power of free-will, as do men but in a more perfect manner. Their intelligence is not obscured, partially enlightened and partially blinded like ours; their will, in proportion, is deliberate in its motions and firm in its determination. They know clearly, resolve firmly, and abide for ever by their decision. You too have this great power; it is not perfect in you; it needs to be carefully cultivated.

As God has allowed no other but Himself to penetrate into the domain of your thoughts, you in like manner should exercise your dominion by preventing any other from ruling there but God. He has made it your sanctuary; do you make it also His.
