If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
J. C. RyleIt may well be feared, that there is not enough Biblereading among us. It is not sufficient to have the Book. We must actually read it, and pray over it ourselves. It will do us no good, if it only lies still in our houses. We must be actually familiar with its contents, and have its texts stored in our memories and minds. Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive, wakeful reading.
J. C. RyleThe nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
J. C. RyleSanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.
