More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
J. C. Ryle
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
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
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
J. C. Ryle
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.
J. C. Ryle
Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
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
Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.
J. C. Ryle
Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.
J. C. Ryle
A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone
J. C. Ryle
Of all the doctrines of the Bible none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God's sovereignty.
J. C. Ryle
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
J. C. Ryle
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. Ryle
No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
