J C Ryle says that “the plain truth is that a right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.”
(Holiness, p. 1)
Forgiven
“Jesus is far more willing to forgive than we are willing to be forgiven and far more willing to pardon than we are willing to be pardoned.”
J C Ryle
Fruit & More Fruit
“The fruit of the Spirit is the only satisfactory evidence of a man or woman being a true Christian. The disciple that ‘abides in Christ,’ like a branch abiding in the vine, will always bear fruit. Repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, holiness of life and conduct – these are what the New Testament calls ‘fruit’. Where these things are lacking, it is vain to talk of possessing dormant grace and spiritual life.”
J C Ryle
Hell is Truth
Here is a marvelous quote from J C Ryle about the rich man in Hades.
“There is no infidelity, skepticism or unbelief after death. Hell is truth known too late.”
J. C. Ryle
