More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. Ryle
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
J. C. Ryle
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
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
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.
J. C. Ryle
A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. Ryle
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
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
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
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
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.
J. C. Ryle
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
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
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
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.
