More quotes by J. C. Ryle
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.
J. C. Ryle
We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
J. C. Ryle
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.

Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
J. C. Ryle
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.
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.
