Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.

By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.

My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of people and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth.
J. C. Ryle
Image
O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.
J. C. Ryle
Image

We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
