How would an angel write your biography?

In essence it would be radically different from how someone would write regarding a physical biography. It would doubtless begin with your birth date and place, your parents, early life, education, marriage, vacation, family, etc. But an angel would go back much earlier, in fact, even before the creation of the world.

Here’s how it might read:

Title: The Full Spiritual Biography of John Smith
Author: Michael the Archangel
Story: John Smith was first in view when God chose him before the foundation of the world in regards to salvation. At the same time God assigned to him certain good works which would follow his conversion. (Eph. 1:4; 2:10)

Smith’s next appearance was a sad one, for he was seen in the Garden of Eden partaking of the forbidden fruit with Adam. (Rom. 5:12-14, 18)

Many centuries later he reappears for the third time, nailed to a cruel cross with Jesus just outside Jerusalem. (Rom. 6:3)

Finally, three days later we watch in amazement as he walks out of an empty tomb with his Savior! (Rom. 6:4, 5)

At present He is being prepared to rule and reign with Christ for one thousand years upon this earth! (Rev. 5:10; 20:6)
