More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.
J. C. Ryle
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
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
The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ's voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are 'filled.'.
J. C. Ryle
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
J. C. Ryle
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. Ryle
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
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
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.
J. C. Ryle
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
And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit's presence when the Word is really precious to a man 's soul.
J. C. Ryle
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
Let us watch against PRIDE in every shapepride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride in our own goodness.
J. C. Ryle
I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays.
J. C. Ryle
That Bible is read best, which is practised most.
J. C. Ryle
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.
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
