More quotes by J. C. Ryle
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.

J. C. Ryle
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
J. C. Ryle
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Hell itself is truth known too late
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
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
J. C. Ryle
The best of men are men at best
