“for the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly”
as Adam ate the forbidden fruit in the garden, all of creation was subjected to futility. specifically man, our curse was to constantly toil, battle, and struggle.
Christ Jesus, the one who died and was raised, began revealing the sons of God. and in the revealing of the sons of God, creation waits eagerly to be set free from the bondage to corruption.
in the glory of God, revealed to us in the face of Christ Jesus, we obtain freedom in the Spirit. it is in this hope that we live. it is in this hope that creation groans, as one in the pains of childbirth.
