A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.
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!
J. C. Ryle
Image
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
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.

We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.
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.

The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Image
So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
