Pithy gems from J.C. Ryle

It costs something to be a true Christian.
It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousness, our ease and our worldliness!

According to the men of the world–few are going to Hell.
According to the Bible–few are going to Heaven.

By affliction, Christ . . .
  shows us our emptiness and weakness,
  draws us to the throne of grace,
  purifies our affections,
  weans us from the world, and
  makes us long for Heaven.

Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion!
“So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold,
 I am going to vomit you out of My mouth!” Revelation 3:16
