“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God." (Romans 8 18-19)
There is more knowledge, government, and religion on this planet today than at any other time in the history of humanity; and yet they have failed to bring salvation, peace and unity to the creation.The Bible tells us why...
"For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it." (Romans 8:20)
It was God who "subjected" the creation to futility. The governments and religions of man will continue to try to repair the world but will fail. Creation can be "set free from its bondage to corruption" only by the God who "subjected" it in the first place . All we can do is "wait for it with patience".
"...the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God...in this expectation we were saved. Now expectation that is seen is not expectation. For who expects for what he already sees? But if we expect what we do not see, we wait for it with patience..." (Romans 8:21-25)
“For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)
“They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
God, and those who love Him, know that everything will work out for "good"...
"...we know that for those who love God all things work together for good..." (Romans 8:28)
God is working "all things together for good". The "good" is that creation will be "set free from its bondage to corruption" and "obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God". Humanity is predestined to be "conformed to the image of His Son".
"...For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified." (Romans 8:29-30)
God will save "humanity" because Jesus Christ the Lord has ransomed us "ALL".
"There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for ALL." (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
"One trespass led to condemnation for ALL humanity, and one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for ALL humanity. For as by Adam's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of Christ Jesus the many will be made righteous." (Romans 5:18-21)
It has been revealed to humanity what God will do for them, and that revelation is that they will br saved, justified, and reconciled to God by Jesus Christ the Lord, and that for humanity brings glory to God the Father.
"At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11)
That is indeed a revelation worth having!
