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
The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
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
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.
J. C. Ryle
The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.
