ACC ~ Romans 8 v21

THE GLORIOUS LIBERTY. AMBROSE: Paul shows that the grace of the soul is no small thing, for by its strength and power the human race rises to the adoption of sons of God, having in itself that which was given to it in the image and likeness of God. LETTER 51.

CREATION NOT WITHOUT HOPE. AMBROSIASTER: Because the creation cannot contradict its Creator it is subjected because of him, but not without hope. For in its travail it has this comfort, that it will have rest when all those who will believe and for whose sake it was subjected in the first place will have come to faith. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

CHRYSOSTOM: Where man leads the creation will follow, since it was made for man. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 14.

CREATION WILL BE SET FREE. JEROME: When the children of God attain glory, creation itself will be delivered from its slavery. HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 58.

PELAGIUS: Creation will no longer serve those who have corrupted the image of God. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
