What will the creation be delivered into?
The creation will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. This means the whole creation, currently groaning under sin and death, is waiting for that great day of deliverance from the curse, when it enters the freedom belonging to God’s children.
Les explains that the creation shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. He notes that everything—flowers, birds, trees, the animal kingdom, and even rocks—is under this bondage of corruption, sin and death, and all of creation is aware of the Creator. The whole creation groans and travails in pain under the curse, waiting for the great day of deliverance. Believers also long for that day, when creation is released from corruption and shares in the glorious liberty of God’s children.
