Context: Romans 8
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
About Romans 8: Life in the Spirit
Paul teaches that people who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under condemnation, and that the Holy Spirit helps them to live a life pleasing to God.
Commentary
Romans 8 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul begins by reminding us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He then goes on to explain that the Spirit of God has set us free from the law of sin and death. This freedom is a result of the Spirit of God living in us and leading us in the way of righteousness.
