There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

More quotes by J. C. Ryle
And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit's presence when the Word is really precious to a man 's soul.
J. C. Ryle
According to the men of the world, few are going to hell According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.
J. C. Ryle
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
J. C. Ryle
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
J. C. Ryle
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
J. C. Ryle
Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
J. C. Ryle
Such true worship will stand the test of Christ's great principle, “By their fruits you shall know them”. It sanctifies the Christian's life, and makes them walk with God, lifting them above fear and love of the world. It enables a Christian to show God to other folks. Such worship comes from heaven, and has the mark of God upon it.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. Ryle
Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
J. C. Ryle
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
J. C. Ryle
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.
J. C. Ryle
Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. Ryle
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
J. C. Ryle
A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern. ~ J.C. Ryle
