Romans is Paul's most complete statement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Righteousness by Faith. Three New Testament books by Paul are part of the phrase: "The just shall live by Faith". Holiness, or "Hagios" in the Greek, is the most misunderstood and misrepresented word in the New Testament; it has to do with possession and commitment. If you're not a saint, you are not a Christian because they are synonymous words. You are holy because you have given yourself to Him so that He might begin a work in you: that's holiness.
