Who will gain control over creation when it is delivered from corruption?

The children of God will gain control of creation. When creation is delivered from the bondage of corruption, believers—those who become children of God—will rule and reign with Christ, exercising dominion over the restored new creation brought out from underneath the curse.

Les teaches that the creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption and restored as it was before Adam fell. At that time wildlife will no longer fear other species or man; nothing will eat meat, and everything will eat what grows naturally—grass, herbs, nuts, and berries—as it will be when the Kingdom is set up. Les explains that the creation is delivered from corruption, and the ones who gain control of it are the children of God. When a person becomes a believer, he becomes a child of God. All creation waits for the day when Christ will rule as King of Kings, and believers will rule and reign with Him, having dominion over the glorious new creation brought out from underneath the curse. Until then, the whole creation groans and travails in pain.

Romans 8:21

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
