If you show me a man deliberately living an unholy and licentious life, and yet boasting that his sins are forgiven, I answer, 'He is under a ruinous delusion, and is not forgiven at all.' I would not believe he is forgiven if an angel from heaven affirmed it, and I charge you not to believe it too. Pardon of sin and love of sin are like oil and waterthey will never go together. All who are washed in the blood of Christ, are also sanctified by the Spirit of Christ.
J. C. RyleLet us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.
J. C. RyleNaked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.
