More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
J. C. Ryle
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. Ryle
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?
J. C. Ryle
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.

Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.
J. C. Ryle
The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
J. C. Ryle
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.
J. C. Ryle
Sanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.
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
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
J. C. Ryle
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.
J. C. Ryle
No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
