Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

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.

The love of our Lord Jesus Christ towards sinners is strikingly shown in His steady purpose of heart to die for them.

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.

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

Image
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.

Image
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.

Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.

Image
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Image
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.

Image
If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
