In the month of June last year i was very sick, i always cried myself to sleep, I was always afraid, because i didn't know what next, one day i cried so much, while calling on God, I heard small voice said "Romans 8", I'm still a growing Christian i have never taken time to read Romans 8 ever before. When I opened and read it, it made me feel so calm, knowing that Jesus Christ is aware of me. From time to time i read it, then from interaction with Christian friends i found that its actually a popular chapter, i didn't know.
I know various scripture means different things to different people, i would love for members here to write down their own step by step understanding of this chapter, so i can learn more. Please and thanks.

I have read the bible chapter but I still need to read it over and over to understand and to make a meaningful contribution.

I am also a growing Christian but going through Romans 8
I understand that Christianity goes beyond what's happening in our carnal bodies and life .
Is it pain, affliction,sorrow, failure and all the enemy has brought our way they are all things of the flesh and would pass away.
We are not to be depressed because of today's sufferings because after this comes glory.
Christ suffered on the cross and once he arose he arosed into glory.
The verse also makes us aware of our spiritual bodies and the fact that we can only please God when we walk in the spirit having the holy spirit has our guide as he is always there to help our infirmities when we pray in the spirit "Romans 8:26-27
In all.of the works and shortcomings of our flesh we are enjoined that everything works for good because we are chosen by God.
We might be passing through alot and we are overwhelmed to the point of crying and asking God why but once all this end we would understand why God allowed it because whatever he allows in our lives is for his glory.
So shall all these sufferings and all separate us from the love of Christ?
No it should not because we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus.
God bless.

Please let others give their explanation of this scripture that I heard one early morning
"Matthew 3:4".
For my better understanding
Thanks

I believe that explains difficulties we may face serving/working for God which requires endurance,patience and sure with better end.

It stated John wore(always)raiment of camel and his food is locust and wild honey(always,i believe as well).This explain his endurance....eating one particular food and one cloth everyday.

When I was thinking about the verse, what came to my mind was"what does camel mean spiritually".you may do research about the animal or betterstill ask holy spirit to explain better to you the verse itself. You may want to search for spiritual meaning of locust and honey too.

My little contribution.I am a learner too.

Thank you @pikk
someone said to me that, john the Baptist was an evangelist who preached about the coming of Jesus ,so given that scrioture means i will be preaching about christ coming too, and my dressing and what i will be eating in the course of working for Christ, would matter alot. Don't know what you think about this, i willalsk ask holyspirit to teach me and also check out the significance of camel hair. Thanks

Well, as you said the best way to go about it is to ask the Holy Spirit.If He is the one that gave you the Bible verse,he would definitely tell you what you need to know.God is not author of confusion but peace.

Happy Sunday !
