Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.

A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.

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!

Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Such true worship will stand the test of Christ's great principle, “By their fruits you shall know them”. It sanctifies the Christian's life, and makes them walk with God, lifting them above fear and love of the world. It enables a Christian to show God to other folks. Such worship comes from heaven, and has the mark of God upon it.

Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
