Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.

More quotes by J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. Ryle
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
J. C. Ryle
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
J. C. Ryle
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Let us only take heed that this office of Christ is not set before us in vain. It will profit us nothing at the last day that Jesus was a Shepherd, if during our lifetime, we never heard His voice and followed Him. If we love life, let us join His flock without delay.
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
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. Ryle
A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
J. C. Ryle
Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
J. C. Ryle
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.
J. C. Ryle
We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
