For the glorious revelation
Of the sons of God to come,
All the creatures wait, expecting,
That they all may free become.

All creation groans together,
Subject now to vanity,
Looking for their full deliv’rance
From corruption’s slavery.

Even we ourselves are groaning,
Till we reach maturity;
We are growing into sonship,
With Christ in conformity.

Fully saturated with Him,
We’ll be wholly sanctified.

To the freedom of this glory,
All creation will be freed;
With the kid shall lie the leopard,
And the cow with bear shall feed.

e. Enjoying the Glory
of the Children of God
with Its Freedom
When the believers are glorified, they will enjoy the glory of the children of God with its freedom. Romans 8:21b speaks of “the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ” All creation aspires to enter into this freedom. Even though the creation will not share the glory, the creation will enter into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Due to the fall of Adam, the entire creation is under bondage and corruption. Romans 8:19 through 21a say, “The anxious watching of the creation eagerly expects the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will also be freed from the slavery of corruption. ” The creation will be freed from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For this, “the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now” (v. 22). The universe is groaning and travailing in birth, awaiting the revelation of the sons of God so that creation may be freed from corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Although we are sons of God, we are still under a veil. One day this veil will be removed, and that will be our glorification. The sons of God will come out from under the veil and be revealed. Then the whole universe will behold the sons of God in glory and participate in the freedom of this glory. Therefore, we, the believers in Christ, shall be glorified, but the creation will only share in the freedom of that glory, not in the glory itself. In the future we shall enjoy the glory of the children of God with its freedom.
