Romans 8:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:21

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.

23 Not only that, but we also who have ^athe firstfruits of the Spirit, ^beven we ourselves groan ^cwithin ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the ^dredemption of our body.

24 For we were saved in this hope, but ^ahope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

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.
