They were also given the opportunity to merit the direct vision of God by remaining faithful to him. The faithful angels were admitted to God s presence where they see him face to face. These good angels see, love and adore God, and live with him eternally. The good angels help us especially by praying for us and by being our guardian angels. The guardian angels are pure spirits who watch over us and encourage us to lead good Christian lives.
Archangels are members of a very powerful group of angels.
The unfaithful angels who rebelled against God were banished from his presence to the eternal punishment known as hell. They are called devils or evil spirits. The unfaithful angels try to harm us chiefly by tempting us to sin. Only some of our temptations to sin come from the unfaithful angels. Other temptations come from ourselves, our wounded nature, or from other persons and things about us.
