More quotes by J. C. Ryle
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
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
The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
J. C. Ryle
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
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
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.
J. C. Ryle
However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.
J. C. Ryle
Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.
J. C. Ryle
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
J. C. Ryle
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
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
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.
J. C. Ryle
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
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
J. C. Ryle
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J. C. Ryle
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.
J. C. Ryle
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
