Romans 8:18-30
A Wonderful Future for God's People

"I am sure that what we are suffering now cannot compare with the
glory that will be shown to us. In fact, all creation is eagerly
waiting for God to show who his children are. Meanwhile, creation is
confused, but not because it wants to be confused. God made it this
way in the hope that creation would be set free from decay and would
share in the glorious freedom of his children. We know that all
creation is still groaning and is in pain, like a woman about to give
birth. The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future.
But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are
his children. This means that our bodies will also be set free. And
this hope is what saves us. But if we already have what we hope for,
there is no need to keep on hoping. However, we hope for something we
have not yet seen, and we patiently wait for it. In certain ways we
are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we
don't know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that
cannot be put into words. All of our thoughts are known to God. He
can understand what is in the mind of the Spirit, as the Spirit prays
for God's people. We know that God is always at work for the good of
everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his
purpose, and he has always known who his chosen ones would be. He had
decided to let them become like his own Son, so that his Son would be
the first of many children. God then accepted the people he had
already decided to choose, and he has shared his glory with them."

God bless you.
