The Glory of the Gospel Applied to Creation

the Lord reveals the answer to why so many bad things happen in the world. Why does evil touch all of our lives? Of course, one reason is that there are bad people who do bad things. But Romans 8 introduces another category of "evil" that helps us understand some of the pain and suffering all around us. It also shows how the Gospel relates to the suffering we see. Suffering is not the end of the story. The future will be glorious for those who are in Christ. The Good News of Jesus promises this. Romans 8 teaches us that the glory of that future time far outweighs the sorrow and difficulty of this present life. As we continue through Romans 8 we learn that this future glory is actually shared by the creation as well.
