Romans 8:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:19

17 and if children, then ^aheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ^bif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that ^athe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For ^athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

20 For ^athe creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of¹ corruption into the glorious ^aliberty of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation ^agroans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Romans 8:18-23

So God in His abundant mercy designed mankind's curse of physical and mental struggles in this world to end in a blessing of rest, and eternal life that starts with His firstfruits. The creation actually groans and travails in pain together, waiting earnestly to be delivered from the bondage of sin and corruption in the manifestation of the sons of God. There is a reason why we feel so way down here on earth, brethren. We are travailing together in pain with the creation as a result of mankind's sin. We are waiting for our transformation into God beings, and we will never find rest here under the sun in the toil of hard work in this burdensome world.
