More quotes by J. C. Ryle

Image
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us only take heed that this office of Christ is not set before us in vain. It will profit us nothing at the last day that Jesus was a Shepherd, if during our lifetime, we never heard His voice and followed Him. If we love life, let us join His flock without delay.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
