Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 5)
Reading edition
The apostle further observes, that those who directed them to worship angels, arrogated a knowledge of matters not revealed. God hath given no intimation of such use to be made of angels, but ordered man to approach him in the name of Christ. Those who go to God in other ways, or depending on other intercessors, are said "not to hold the head." [104] "The head of every man is Christ." [105] Such people will lose their reward. "Let no man beguile you of your reward, in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels"—The rewards of grace are promised to obedience but not to "willful worship, or voluntary humility." The utmost these can hope is forgiveness.
