That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.

More quotes by J. C. Ryle
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.
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
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
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. Ryle
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
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
Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.
J. C. Ryle
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
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
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
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
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
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 children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.
J. C. Ryle
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
J. C. Ryle
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
