We must be holy, because this is the only sound evidence that we have a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. RyleA religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. RyleBeware of self-righteousness in every possible shape and form. Some people get as much harm from their "virtues" as others do from their sins.
J. C. RyleNo doubt a man may be saved, like the penitent thief, without having received the Lord's Supper. It is not a matter of absolute and indispensable necessity, like repentance, faith, and conversion. But it is impossible to say that any professing Christian is in a safe, healthy, or satisfactory condition of soul, who habitually refuses to obey Christ and attend the Lord's Table.
