More quotes by 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
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
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
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
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
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
J. C. Ryle
People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.
J. C. Ryle
Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.
J. C. Ryle
Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.
J. C. Ryle
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
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
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.
J. C. Ryle
So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.
J. C. Ryle
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
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
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
