People groan for many reasons—despair, effort, pain. In Romans 8, the apostle Paul describes groans of longing as all creation anticipates the day when God will make all things new. As Alistair Begg explains the “now” and the “not yet” dimensions of our redemption, he reminds us that the believer’s future hope rests on the sure foundation of the Christ’s resurrection.
22For we know that sthe whole creation thas been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have uthe firstfruits of the Spirit, vgroan inwardly as wwe wait eagerly for adoption as sons, xthe redemption of our bodies. 24For yin this hope we were saved. Now zhope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we await for it with patience.
