More quotes by 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 devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.
J. C. Ryle
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
J. C. Ryle
The love of our Lord Jesus Christ towards sinners is strikingly shown in His steady purpose of heart to die for them.
J. C. Ryle
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
J. C. Ryle
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.
J. C. Ryle
Hell itself is truth known too late
J. C. Ryle
Let us only take heed that this office of Christ is not set before us in vain. It will profit us nothing at the last day that Jesus was a Shepherd, if during our lifetime, we never heard His voice and followed Him. If we love life, let us join His flock without delay.
J. C. Ryle
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.
J. C. Ryle
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
J. C. Ryle
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
J. C. Ryle
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
J. C. Ryle
Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.
J. C. Ryle
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
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
Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!
J. C. Ryle
