Creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed

[Twinkle77]

Romans 8:19-21 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, 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.

1. Besides living things, part of creation is human beings. So how can people who are unbelievers be waiting in eager expectation when they are living for the world and have fear of dying.

2. How is it going to be liberated from its bondage to decay? When Jesus comes again??
3. And brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God??

Romans 8:22-23 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

1. In Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
If we are already God's children, why do we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons?

2. the redemption of our bodies? The body dies & decomposes?
Is this actually saying what is mentioned in Philippians 3:20-21 And we eagerly wait a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that will be like his glorious body.
Those who are still alive in the physical body will have a glorious body.
Those who are dead no longer have a physical body (decomposed) to be transformed'?

Jesus has told us that He will send the Holy Spirit and through His empowerment we will do even greater miracles than He did.

He taught us to pray His kingdom come and His will done on earth as it is in heaven.

He has already won the victory at the cross, but there is still so much pain in the world.

Yes, we are the sons and daughters of God, but we are still mostly concealed by our inaction. Creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed, with the power to usher in the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

There will be a revival of the church in the last days like never before, as the sons and daughters of God are filled with the Holy Spirit to set people free.

His kingdom will come and His will be done on earth like it is in heaven.

Thanks nukreation for responding. I'll meditate on what you've said.

I think if we look closely, we can see that: while they don't have a clear concept of what happens after death, everyone deep down in side has a hope for something better than the "hell" we have portrayed to them. In this manner, creation cries out.

"creatures" of all kinds in scripture represent types of people. Personalities if you will.
Donkeys are stubborn and carry burdens because they are whipped.
Sheep just enjoy life and cling to the shepherd.
Goats always get out of the pen, eat your belongings, and head butt you just for being near.
Pigs will eat anything. The less modern ones, from the days of scripture, have big nasty tusks and are dangerous.

Nonetheless, all these people hope for something better. They just don't know how to get it.
John, a servant, while in the throne room, in the presence of YHWH, saw a brighter day and a brighter light. A "revelation" of Y'Shua:

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
