Angel and the Word
The Word
Jesus says in the Word of God, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."1
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ"2"But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardships, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."3
Angel Definition
Evangelism is an activity of the church whereby a Christian explains or presents the Christian gospel of Jesus to one seen as a non-Christian, with the intention of encouraging that person to become a Christian.
Evangelist Ray Comfort says "The word 'evangelist' comes from the Koine Greek word transcribed as 'euangelion' via the Latin "Evangelium", as used in the canonical titles of the four Gospels, authored by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (also known as the Four Evangelists).
Angel Root
The Greek word originally meant a reward for good news given to the messenger (eu= "good," "angelium" = "I bring a message"). The word"angel" is of the same root in the word and "angel" later translates into "good news." This latter term gives rise to the word 'Gospel.'"4
Angel in the Church
The modern word "church" comes from the Scottish word "Kirk" and from the Greek "kyriake". The Greek and Latin word for church is"ecclesia" which is used of the congregation or "assembly" in a Jewish Synagogue or early Christian Household of Faith.
The New Testament Greek word for "church" is "ecclesia." It translates the Hebrew word, "kahal" meaning "assembly." The word "Ecclesia" has two parts, "ek" meaning "out of," and "klesis" meaning "a calling." These words combine to make "Church" an assembly "called apart to the Lord."
In the New Testament writings, church is invariably a local small worshipping group of Christians rather than a building. In New Testament terms, it is simply a group of people who are "called apart" to worship the Lord.
Spirituality and the Word
The word Spirituality is used often nowadays."Spirituality," in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief, the church and faith, a transcendent reality, and God.
Spiritual matters are thus those matters regarding humankind's ultimate nature and purpose, not only as material biological organisms, but as beings with a unique relationship to that which is beyond both time and the material world."4
