Romans 8 Commentary

Bible Text: Romans 8:18-25 (ESV)

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Reflection Questions

Romans 8:18-25

  • How is it that Apostle Paul could say v. 18? What is the “glory that is to be revealed to us”? How much do I consider this reality as I face various “sufferings of this present time”?
  • What does this passage have to say regarding personal as well as world-wide suffering and brokenness?
