More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
J. C. Ryle
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
J. C. Ryle
We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.
J. C. Ryle
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.
J. C. Ryle
A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord's people.
J. C. Ryle
A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
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
If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
J. C. Ryle
The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
J. C. Ryle
Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
J. C. Ryle
However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.
J. C. Ryle
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
J. C. Ryle
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.
J. C. Ryle
Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.
J. C. Ryle
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.
J. C. Ryle
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
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
