More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
J. C. Ryle
If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?
J. C. Ryle
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.
J. C. Ryle
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
J. C. Ryle
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
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
What will it cost [a person] to be a true Christian? It will cost him his self-righteousn ess. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.
J. C. Ryle
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
J. C. Ryle
The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
J. C. Ryle
Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?
J. C. Ryle
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
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well they understand that it condemns their own behavior they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
