The surest mark of true conversion is humility.

Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!
J. C. Ryle
Image
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

Image
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.

There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.

I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

Image
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord went with them and guided them into all truth.

Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.

Image
Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.

Image
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
Image
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.

There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
