What does Romans 8:31-34 mean?

In these verses, the Apostle Paul is speaking to the newly established Christian church in Rome, Italia. At this time in history (ca. A.D. 57,) Christians were not a popular lot in the Roman Empire. The Orthodox Jews did not the Christians because the Christians claimed that the gospel that they preached perfected the Law of Moses, the then 1400-year-old holy law that the Jews already deemed to be perfect. The Roman Emperors did not like the Christians because the Christians taught that Jesus Christ was the son of God; it should be noted that the Roman Emperors believed that they themselves were Gods and the Sons of God. In Romans 8:31, the Apostle Paul is instructing the Christians to take courage, because God himself is on their side in their endeavors in proselytizing. Verse 32 expands upon this sentiment by indicating that God, being generous enough to send his only begotten son to die for the sins of mankind, would never hesitate to give his earthly children “all things” meaning anything they could ever want and need. Verse 33 is indicating that no man on the earth could ever hold God’s children in contempt, but that it is God himself who is the ultimate judge. Verse 34 suggests that Jesus the Christ, the Son of God who died and then rose again is perpetually speaking to God on behalf of the saints (Christians) so as to ensure their success in this life and in the next.
