True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person – Jesus Christ.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word is really precious to a man ‘s soul.
J. C. RyleJ. 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. RyleJ. C. Ryle Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. RyleJ. 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. RyleJ. C. Ryle It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must ‘plead guilty’ before God can declare us innocent.
