If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.

We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.

True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.

If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.

The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.

So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
