More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
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
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
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
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. Ryle
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.
J. C. Ryle
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
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
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
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.
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
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.
J. C. Ryle
Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.
J. C. Ryle
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
J. C. Ryle
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
J. C. Ryle
