What will happen to creation according to Romans 8:21?
Romans 8:21 teaches that creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption and restored to its condition before Adam fell. It will be brought out from underneath the curse when Christ rules as King of Kings, with believers ruling and reigning with Him over this glorious new creation.
Les explains that Romans 8:21 promises creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption and restored as it was before Adam fell. In that restoration, wildlife will no longer fear other things of their various species or man. Before Adam sinned, nothing ate meat or killed another species for its livelihood; everything ate what grew naturally—the grass, herbs, nuts, and berries. So it will be when the Kingdom is set up. The creation shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, and the children of God will gain control of it; when a person becomes a believer, that person becomes a child of God. All creation is waiting for the day when Christ will rule as King of Kings, and believers will rule and reign with Him, having dominion over this glorious new creation brought out from underneath the curse. Romans 8:22 adds that the whole creation groans and travails in pain until now.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
