More quotes by J. C. Ryle
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. Ryle
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
J. C. Ryle
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
J. C. Ryle
Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. Ryle
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
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
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
J. C. Ryle
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. Ryle
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
