J. C. Ryle
Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

We corrupt the Word of God most dangerously, when we throw any doubt on the plenary inspiration of any part of Holy Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. Ryle
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
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
The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
J. C. Ryle
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. Ryle
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
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
J. C. Ryle
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.
J. C. Ryle
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
