Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Image
True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid....

J. C. Ryle
Image
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
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
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
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
