Key Verse:

“…but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”

— 1 Peter 1:15

Rooted Truth:

Holiness is not a suggestion for believers—it’s our calling.

Faith Story:

Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” was deeply committed to both gospel proclamation and personal holiness. He once addressed the danger of divided devotion:

“There is a very strong temptation to be a kind of Sunday Christian—very devout and godly in church, but not very precise and holy in the business of the world. Holiness must be written across the whole life.”

Spurgeon understood that holiness isn’t a church activity—it’s a life identity. Being set apart means our conduct—private and public—reflects the character of the One who called us.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Leviticus 20:26 – “You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you…”

Hebrews 12:14 – “Strive for… the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

Ephesians 4:24 – “…created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

Daily Practice:

Examine your conduct today—words, habits, attitudes. Where are you reflecting Christ? Where are you blending in? Ask the Spirit to set you apart in speech, thought, and behavior.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, You have called me to be holy as You are holy. Purify my heart. Refine my mind. May holiness be the mark of my life—not in part, but in every part. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

Does your daily conduct reflect the holiness of God?

What habits or compromises hinder your growth in holiness?

How can you live set apart in both public and private life?
