More quotes by J. C. Ryle
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
If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?
J. C. Ryle
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.
J. C. Ryle
Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
J. C. Ryle
The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
J. C. Ryle
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
J. C. Ryle
We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
J. C. Ryle
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. Ryle
Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
J. C. Ryle
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
J. C. Ryle
There is but one fountain of comfort for a man drawing near to his end, and that is the Bible. ...All comfort from any other source is a house built upon sand.
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 blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
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
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.
J. C. Ryle
