More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Churches may decay and perish riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.
J. C. Ryle
Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord's people.
J. C. Ryle
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
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
Hell itself is truth known too late
J. C. Ryle
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
J. C. Ryle
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
J. C. Ryle
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. Ryle
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
J. C. Ryle
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.
J. C. Ryle
Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.
J. C. Ryle
Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.
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
So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.
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
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
J. C. Ryle
