“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:22-23
As all of creation suffers and groans under the curse of sin and looks forward to its deliverance on the Last Day, so we who have been brought to faith in Christ by the Holy Spirit and have a new nature of God’s making long for and await that day when our bodies are set free from the curse of sin and enjoy the perfect freedom to serve our God without sin forever.
Come, Lord Jesus, and set us free to serve You without sin forevermore. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
