Romans 8:19-22

19For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.

20Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

21the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.

22For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
