Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.
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
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.

Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well they understand that it condemns their own behavior they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
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
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. Ryle
A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
J. C. Ryle
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
J. C. Ryle
Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work the harvest, but not the labor the reaping, but not the sowing the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.
J. C. Ryle
There is but one fountain of comfort for a man drawing near to his end, and that is the Bible. ...All comfort from any other source is a house built upon sand.
J. C. Ryle
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
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.
