Don't forget Gen. 3:17 'And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy
life;'
Now Romans 8 makes more sense:
> snip...
> For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for
> the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature
> was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by
> reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,
> because the creature itself also shall be delivered
> from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty
> of the children of God. Romans 8:19-21
>
> And verses 22-23 make that even more clear:
>
> For we know that the whole creation groans and
> travails in pain together until now. And not only they,
> but we ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the
> Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting
> for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
> snip...
