John 3:16 For God so loved the 'world', that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It’s interesting to note that the word 'world' used here is the greek word, 'kosmos' which speaks of ALL creation - everything that God made.
Colossians 1:16,17
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Jesus came not only to redeem man, but for the restoration of all things. The redemption of man has an eternal impact over all of creation. In the redemption of man back to his original design, all of creation has hope.
Romans 8:19
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
The word 'world', mentioned in the new testament has various connotations. In some places it means a people group or the world system at large. In this case, it’s talking about the human race and/or their belief system.
But primarily, the use of the word 'world' implies 'Ages'. God is known to have brought about different moves through the ages which are all woven together and transition neatly into each other.
By the Spirit, we also, as sons of God, having the mind of Christ, get aligned to His plans and flow therein.
You are a son of God… made in His image and likeness!
