More quotes by J. C. Ryle
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
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
But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.
J. C. Ryle
The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.
J. C. Ryle
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
J. C. Ryle
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
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
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
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
J. C. Ryle
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
What will it cost [a person] to be a true Christian? It will cost him his self-righteousn ess. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.
J. C. Ryle
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
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
