More quotes by J. C. Ryle

Image
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
Image
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
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.

Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.

Image
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.

People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.
