Abstract
In Romans 8 Paul speaks of how the created order “groans” under human sin and awaits the return of Jesus. Though Paul is speaking in symbolic language about the end of time; nonetheless, we can learn from his way of speaking about nature. He has a high view of the natural order and believes that it will participate in the cosmic renewal at the end of time. We should share his respect and engage in better stewardship of the natural order and realize that it does indeed “groan” under modern human abuse.
