More quotes by J. C. Ryle
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.
J. C. Ryle
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.
J. C. Ryle
According to the men of the world, few are going to hell According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.
J. C. Ryle
Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
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.
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
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
J. C. Ryle
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.
J. C. Ryle
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this - that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.
J. C. Ryle
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
