By an entreaty, the Apostle Paul with a sense of urgency requested the Christians in Rome to live a holy life before God. He urged them not to yield to sin but keep themselves pure! This desire to be holy must be cultivated and formed as a holiness habit in their daily living. The stranglehold of sin in their lives had been broken by Christ. They can now choose not to sin. There is indeed great spiritual strength that God has endued every true believer. He is to exercise it for his good.
