They explain how to understand Romans 8 in the context of the previous chapters, why there’s no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, how to let that truth make a difference in your life, and how to respond to the question “If there’s no condemnation for me, why am I suffering?” We hope you’ll open your Bibles and dive in.
