Amen.Romans 8:19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.Romans 8:20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,Romans 8:21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.Romans 8:22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.Romans 8:39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
