Let it be a settled principle in our minds, in reading the Bible, that Christ is the central sun of the whole book. So long as we keep Him in view, we shall never greatly err in our search for spiritual knowledge. Once losing sight of Christ, we shall find the whole Bible dark and full of difficulty.
J. C. RyleHoliness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
J. C. RyleThe Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. RyleLook to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.
J. C. RyleGo to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
