No Condemnation, the Arc of Romans 8. MannaFest
Three groans in one paragraph: the creation, subjected to vanity and waiting on tiptoe; ourselves, having the firstfruits of the Spirit; and the Spirit Himself, interceding with groanings that cannot be uttered. The chapter does not pretend the present is comfortable. It says the pain is labour, not death.
