More quotes by J. C. Ryle

Image
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.

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
Image
A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.

Image
Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.

If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.

Image
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.

Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.

Image
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Image
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.

People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.

Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?
J. C. Ryle
Image
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
