Your discussion of the protective role of angels, including Peter’s miraculous escape from prison and the apostles’ release, effectively demonstrated how God utilized angels to support and empower His people. Your emphasis on angels executing divine judgment was especially noteworthy, serving as a reminder of God’s sovereignty and justice in the New Testament era. I also valued your connection between the strengthening role of angels and their ministry of encouragement, particularly in Paul’s storm experience in Acts 27, highlighting God’s constant presence even in times of crisis. Overall, your essay was informative and spiritually enriching, providing a thoughtful examination of the roles of angels in the early church.
