The secret of Vanity
A verse:
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.” (1 John 2:16)
What?
“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
How?
God allowed ‘all creation’ to be subject to “vanity” (but ‘not’ without “hope”):
“For creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,” (Romans 8:20)
P/S:
What is this “hope”?
This same ‘all creation’ will be ‘delivered’ (saved) to the ‘glorious liberty’ (free from sin & decay) and became “children of God” as the ‘next verse’ explains:
“Because creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21)
Yup, the message is again (in the “end”): God Will save the World.
“Blessed Saviour of the World”
