Text: Romans 8
In our series in Romans, Chapter 8 holds multiple facets and messages.
This chapter has been called the "inner sanctuary within the cathedral of Christian faith"..

21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

That the news is full of not only the effects of sin on people,
But the effects of sin on creation
Creation is actually dying...the bible says th ...
