More quotes by J. C. Ryle

Image
If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.

Image
Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
Image
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.
J. C. Ryle
Image
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
What will it cost [a person] to be a true Christian? It will cost him his self-righteousn ess. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.
J. C. Ryle
Image
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Image
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.

Image
The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
