In the second half of chapter 8 of Romans, Paul's dramatic description of the salvation story expands to include the whole of the created order. What a sweeping account: Because of the person and work of Jesus Christ, we former slaves are now set free, under no condemnation, and are now heirs. But that's not all! Even the whole of creation anticipates with us that glorious day when our Christus Victor sets aright that which the enemy turned upside-down in the garden so long ago.
