More quotes by J. C. Ryle
The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
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
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
J. C. Ryle
What will it cost [a person] to be a true Christian? It will cost him his self-righteousn ess. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.
J. C. Ryle
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.
J. C. Ryle
But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.
J. C. Ryle
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.
J. C. Ryle
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
J. C. Ryle
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
J. C. Ryle
O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
J. C. Ryle
We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
J. C. Ryle
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
