Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.

More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
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
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
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.
J. C. Ryle
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
J. C. Ryle
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.
J. C. Ryle
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
J. C. Ryle
A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern. ~ J.C. Ryle
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
We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. Ryle
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.
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
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. Ryle
A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone
J. C. Ryle
We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.
J. C. Ryle
