Superior to Angels

having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? - Heb 1:4-5

Both the reason Christ is superior and the evidence that he is superior is his father. His name is superior. He is God's son. The basis is not focused on the begotten-ness of Christ, but on his inheritance. That means that all Christians who are adopted sons are superior to angels. One of the main purposes of angels is "to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation."
