1185. The creation waits for the unveiling of the sons of God

The creation waits for the unveiling of the sons of God - Romans 8:16-24, Romans 8:28

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

19 For the earnest expectation (anxious looking with outstretched hand) of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature (creation) was made subject (to submit) to vanity (disappointing misery), not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected (submitted) the same in hope (the expectation of future good),

21 Because the creature (creation) itself also shall be delivered (set free) from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty (freedom of glory) of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work (labor, achievement, that which is accomplished by labor) together for good (worthy of affirmation) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (of what one's sets before his mind, deliberate resolution).
