The answer is found in Romans 8. In this passage of Scripture, we find there is a close relationship between a believer and nature, an intricate tying of the two together. And not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body . Because of Adam's sin, all of nature is under the rule of Satan, the god of this world. Nature groans and travails, and all of creation fights against the problems brought upon this world by sin.
Believers join in the fight as well.
Nature and the believer work together, and according to this verse, even groan together. When you are born again, God not only ties you into heaven, but He ties you into creation around you. More specifically, there's an intricate tying together of your spirit and the land that you are from. Throughout the Word of God, we find that when God raised up a people, He also identified them with a piece of property. When He raised up Israel as a nation, He tied them to Himself and to heaven, but he also tied them to their land.
