Romans 1:4 says, “And declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” As I read this, I stopped and began singing “Nearer My God To Thee” written by Fanny Crosby. 

Here is the second verse. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the pow-r of grace divine; let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in Thine.” Here is the crux of living in holiness…through grace losing our will by embracing His.

I just finished reading the biography of Harry Ironside. Mighty preacher. He used to struggle to be holy ~ striving to not sin in word, thought, and deed. Found out that he could not ~ neither can you nor I. Anything that we do in our flesh will fail. It is all by grace. The same grace that saved us is the grace that empowers us to walk in the Spirit.
