Image
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

Image
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

Image
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.

The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.

Image
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

J. C. Ryle
Image
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
