More quotes by J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
J. C. Ryle
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
J. C. Ryle
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
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
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.

J. C. Ryle
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
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
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
J. C. Ryle
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.
J. C. Ryle
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord's people.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
