THE END PRODUCT

(Romans 8: 21)

The creature itself, which is to say, the entire created Cosmos, also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption…

The word, ‘also’, signifies here, ‘along with ourselves’, along with each of us as well, shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption…

Not only ourselves, but the entire created Cosmos has become subject to this bondage to corruption. We are generally brought up in a manner that we tend to accept this being subject to the bondage of corruption as ‘par for the course’. We simply accept it and never really question it, but are continually looking for ways to ‘get around’ the limitations that seem to be an inevitable part of our life.

It's almost as if, if you can imagine something as absurd as this - when we are born the doctors and nurses attach little chains to us with little weights attached to them and every year, our parents, our relatives, our teachers, our bosses, and the government, adds a few more chains and weights.

And we just accept it and look for ways to compensate for all of these chains and weights and to try to find, at least a little comfort and consolation in the midst of this inevitable situation.

So, not only ourselves, but the entire created Cosmos, through no fault of it's own, but simply as a result of our authority over it, has become subject to this bondage.

This has all come to pass for us, the Human Beings, who are the Crown of creation, to learn certain lessons about the use and/or, misuse, of our complete freedom of will with which we have been endowed from the very beginning.

God fully intends to deliver us and subsequently, all of creation from our bondage to corruption. There is no question that this will happen.

The only question is will we choose to make use of our complete freedom of will in such a way that we are able to participate in what God Intends to accomplish?

That is what we are doing here, whether we realize it or not.

The creature itself also shall be delivered into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of God.

We are the children of God and have been given the opportunity to reorient our priorities from compensating for the chains and weights we have become subject to, to being delivered from them into the Glorious Liberty that God Intends for us.

The choice is ours to make.
