What did Romans 8:18-25 mean to the Roman church? Paul was not naive enough to think that the church did not have troubles. He knew very well that they were going through much persecution, and were not even allowed in Rome at some points. They were Christians who were fed to lions for entertainment, esteemed as naught.
Even amidst the strife of these trials, Paul spoke hope. There was a place where they would not fear for their lives anymore. There was a Father who would welcome his children home. Paul encouraged the Roman believers to look forward to that day.
