More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
J. C. Ryle
However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.
J. C. Ryle
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
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
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
Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. Ryle
A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern. ~ J.C. Ryle
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
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
J. C. Ryle
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. Ryle
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Of all the doctrines of the Bible none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God's sovereignty.
J. C. Ryle
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
J. C. Ryle
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
J. C. Ryle
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.
