Secondly, In the Negative, The Angels are not the Sons of God by Regeneration, nor by Adoption. Thus Believers only are the Sons of God (John 1.12.) To as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to as many as believed on his Name. Believers are the Sons of God, regenerated and adopted; Angels are not so. The holy Angels needed not Regeneration; nor as they were created holy, so they fell not from that holiness in which they were c•eated: and therefore Christ is not to them a Redeemer for their restoration, but only a Head for their confirmation and establishment (Col. 2.10.) As for the Angels which fell, they are reserved in chairs of darkness to the Judgement of the Great Day; they have •o share in Redemption, thei• fall is irrecoverable. Thus we see how the Angels are not the Sons of God. But how then are they the Sons of God?
