Persevering Holiness

By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Persevering Holiness.— Holiness consists not in the rushing of intense resolve, which, like Kishon, sweeps everything before it and then subsides, but in the constant flow of Siloa’s waters, which perpetually make glad the city of our God. Holiness is no blazing comet, amazing nations with a transient glory; it is a fixed star, which, with still, calm radiance, shines on through the darkness of a corrupt age. Holiness is persevering obedience; it is not holiness at all if it be occasional zeal and sensational piety.—Spurgeon.
