Image
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
Image
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
J. C. Ryle
Image
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.

Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We corrupt the Word of God most dangerously, when we throw any doubt on the plenary inspiration of any part of Holy Scripture.

Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.

Image
Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.

Image
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.

Image
If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.

Image
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord went with them and guided them into all truth.

We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it.

Image
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
Image
A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
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.

When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.

If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
