What was the calling of the believers in Rome?...

They were called to be saints. The term "saints" means holy ones. The name "Christian" is seldom applied to the believer in the New Testament. The word "saint" is used often, and with reason, in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

It states something about our election, our position in God, and our conduct. A believer in Christ is a saint, a holy person.

If we are not living a righteous and holy life we are not walking in the Spirit, we are not living in the Kingdom of God. It is as simple as that.

To be "saved by grace" is to be escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust—escaping by the supernatural wisdom and power being given us daily through the Holy Spirit who is dwelling in us.

Every believer is called to be a saint, called to be righteous, holy, and obedient through the Virtue that is in Christ.

We are called to be saints. We are known by the fruit of holiness.
