More quotes by J. C. Ryle
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
The best of men are men at best
J. C. Ryle
Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
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
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.
J. C. Ryle
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
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
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
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
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
J. C. Ryle
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
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
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
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
J. C. Ryle
