Transcript
For the creation was subjected to frustration not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected,
in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
(Rom 8:20-21)
And he who sits on the throne said, " Behold, I am making all things new." (Rev. 21:5)
I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendents after you and with every living creature that was with you - the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you - every living creature on earth. (Gen 9:9-10)
What does the word creation refer to in this passage?

NEXT WEEK: RELATIONSHIPS IN HEAVEN
Describe how you imagine God's creation might have been before sin entered the world.
The "curse" is the word theologians use to describe the fallen state of creation after Adam and Eve chose the path of sin.
How does Genesis 3:16-19 describe the curse?
Then he said to the woman,
“I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you. And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat,
the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it. It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains. By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”
...you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom...(Luke 22:30)
Discuss how this description of the curse correlates with how we (God's animate and inanimate creation) experience the effects of the curse today.
How does it feel to know that we'll someday be able to grasp the full measure of God's grace?
