Liberation Is Coming!
“We know that the whole creation will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God…
The "whole creation" has been promised "liberation" in the Word of God That is the "hope" for the salvation of mankind because it is the "will of God".
...in this hope we are saved…we wait patiently for it…the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God." (Romans 8:22-27)
This promised "liberation" is not immediate, it comes after resurrection, so we have no choice but to "wait patiently" for it. We learning to "wait patiently" as we gain the "knowledge of the truth".
“God our Savior, Who will have ALL mankind to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth... For there is one God, and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for ALL, to be testified in due time." (1 Timothy 2:4-7)
I am not ordained, nor am I a preacher, but I can read. God has said that "all mankind" is "predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son". Theologians limit the predestined to those who join their clubs, but they are wrong. Jesus gave himself a "ransom for all". Paul was ordained by God to preach this "truth". Those ordained by religious institutions rarely, if ever, do so.
“For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified." (Romans 8:29-30)
Is there anyone God did not foreknow? Of course not, He is Omniscient. The whole creation will be "liberated" - and mankind, all conformed to the image of his Son, the resurrected and "glorified" "children of God".
