We've climbed this mountain of Romans up to Chapter 12 and the it feels like we might just slide down the slope and coast for a bit. Except that Paul didn't bring us to this crossroads of material (idolatry>true worship; tablets of stone>tablets of flesh; ethnic divisions>unity; weakness of the flesh>power of the body; and in Adam>in Christ) so that we could miss  the understanding that we need to live into the world that God is making for us.
