The love of Christ towards His people is a deep well which has no bottom.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The Lord Jesus is “a friend who never changes.” There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle 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.

J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. RyleJ. 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. RyleJ. C. Ryle Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
