More quotes by 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
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
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
Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all.
J. C. Ryle
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
J. C. Ryle
Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work the harvest, but not the labor the reaping, but not the sowing the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.
J. C. Ryle
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
J. C. Ryle
The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
J. C. Ryle
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
J. C. Ryle
What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.
J. C. Ryle
If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.
J. C. Ryle
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
J. C. Ryle
Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. Ryle
Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.
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
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition.
