"Abba,
Father."
Romans 8:1-21
"[There is]
therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Romans
8:20-21 "For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but
by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,"
"Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of the children of God."
Vanity
has several meanings.
Futility,
emptiness, frailty, folly, all references to the curse of Genesis
and
considers the whole thing as unnecessary.
Creation
did not actively participate in the Fall.
This
refers to the inability to achieve a goal or purpose.
Because
of man’s sin,
God cursed the physical universe and now,
no part of creation
entirely fulfills God’s original purpose.
“Delivered
from the bondage of corruption”:
There
will be no more death.
The
creature or creation looks forward to the Millennium
when redeemed man is
glorified and will never again have to face God’s curse.
