THE CREATION WAITS IN EAGER EXPECTATION
FOR
THE SONS OF GOD TO BE REVEALED.
20
For Creation was Subjected to Frustration,
Not
by its own choice,
But
by the Will of the One who Subjected it,
21
In Hope that the Creation itself will be Liberated
From
its Bondage to Decay
AND
BROUGHT INTO THE GLORIOUS FREEDOM
OF
THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
22
WE KNOW
THAT
THE WHOLE CREATION HAS BEEN GROANING
AS
IN THE PAINS OF CHILDBIRTH
RIGHT
UP TO THE PRESENT TIME.
23
NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE OURSELVES,
WHO
HAVE THE FIRST FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT,
GROAN
INWARDLY AS WE WAIT EAGERLY
FOR
OUR ADOPTION AS SONS,
THE
REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES.
(Romans
8:19-23)
From
the time of the Fall of Adam and Eve
The
Whole Creation has been Groaning
Because
it was Subjected to Decay,
Caused
by the Sin of mankind.
It
now Eagerly awaits the Revealing of the Sons of God,
When
Decay will Cease, as Sin will Cease.
