Does God gain an angel every time someone dies? What's the Bible say about it. Humans are humans and angels are angels. When a believer dies, they go home to be with the Lord. They are still human, but in their glorified state.
This is just how valuable mankind is to God. For the angels who rebelled against God, there is no atonement or forgiveness for their sin. They don't get to enjoy God's grace or mercy. In fact, angels are intrigued by the love God has for mankind.
But God so loved mankind that He became a man, and yet still fully God, and died for the salvation of mankind and took upon the cross the sins of whosoever would believe in Him. Jesus didn't die for angels or to save them. Jesus died for the sins of mankind to save mankind. God became human to die on behalf of humans. This is not a boastful thing to say, it is the truth about who God is and His plan.
Humans were the climax of creation. We also don't become and angel when we die and NO we never were angels. So don't tell people God gained another angel when a loved one passes away of someone you know.
If that person was a believer, they are with the Lord because the Bible says so. It should be a time to rejoice because they don't have to suffer and nor will they will they ever suffer again. If we aren't sure about someone we know salvation, then this should provide us even more to share the gospel with them.
