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
A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord went with them and guided them into all truth.
J. C. Ryle

If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work the harvest, but not the labor the reaping, but not the sowing the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.
J. C. Ryle
Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.
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
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
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
The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.
J. C. Ryle
We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
