Hope

Romans 8:18-25
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the anxious longing of creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation itself was subjected to sin, yet has hope. For creation itself will also be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
For we kinow that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughter and the redemption of our body.


For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it."
