More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well they understand that it condemns their own behavior they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.
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
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
J. C. Ryle
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.
J. C. Ryle
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. Ryle
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.
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
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
Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.
J. C. Ryle
We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.
J. C. Ryle
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.
J. C. Ryle
Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.
J. C. Ryle
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.
J. C. Ryle
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
J. C. Ryle
The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.
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.
