Romans 8:22-23
"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the 1st fruits of the spirit, grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies."
When a baby is being birthed. The mother groans in pain and new life comes into this world. When we get old, and sickness comes. We grown with pain to go to a new life. Made hole and healed with our Lord Jesus Christ.
I love how this passage was explained by a pastor.... All these viruses, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, floods, senseless murders, and the fact that they are coming more frequently, is the Earth groaning for new life.
God-created this world for His purpose. He created us for His purpose. To worship. Everything he created was beautiful. All nature and science follow the sound of His voice.
The world is decaying and spiritually infected with sin.The God of salvation is chasing down our hearts. Sometimes it seems so close to his return. But I'm sure they felt that way thousands of years ago. But like I said. Those things that are written, that he told us would happen more frequently, are happening, Mark 13:5-12 Luke 21:11, Matthew 24:7.
So whether Jesus comes 1st, or he calls you home, are you ready for new life? Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
For Your Glory Lord
