Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

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.

Image
Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays.

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.

Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.
