Groaning for Glory
Romans 8:18-25
Skip Heitzig
Romans 8 (NKJV™) | |
18 | For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. |
19 | For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. |
20 | For the 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 of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. |
22 | For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. |
23 | Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. |
24 | For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? |
25 | But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. |
