All Creation Waits With Eager Longing, Romans 8:18-30

Marcus Grodi and Dr. Kenneth Howell | December 16, 2014 No Comments

In this section of Romans, St. Paul builds upon what he assumes his Christian audience already accepts: that there is a close intimacy between God and His Creation. The Hebrews spoke often of this in their Psalms. St. Paul draws on this intimacy, as well as the separation and “groaning” that Creation experiences as a result of Man’s sin, as a metaphor of a Christian’s present experience in this world and the eventually resurrection of the body. Creation and Mankind stand side-by-side awaiting this redemption.

Scripture verse: Romans 8:18-30  (See also: Psalm 148)
