Are You Born Again? by J. C. Ryle Are you born again? This is one of life’s most important questions. Jesus Christ said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). It is not enough to reply, “I belong to the church; I suppose I’m a [..more..] Where’s Your Treasure? “Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.” Luke 12:34 Let us see whether we have treasure in heaven,or whether all our good things are here upon earth. Would we know what our treasure is? Let us ask ourselves what we love most. This is the true test of character. It matters little .

In the place of it, the idol of the day is a kind of jelly-fish Christianity–a Christianity without bone, or muscle, or sinew– without any distinct teaching about the atonement or the work of the Spirit, or justification, or the way of [..more..] Grow in Sanctification “Let your repentance be a growing habit, your faith an increasing faith, your holiness a progressive holiness, your victory over the world a more decided victory, your love to the brethren a more hearty love, your watchfulness over yourself a more jealous watchfulness.” Originally posted 2009-08-25 07:32:24.

He must cast away all pride and high thoughts and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner saved only by free grace and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another. He must really feel as [..more..] J.C. Ryle But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity[a] that is in Christ. I ask you to pay special attention to this point. Such is the simplicity[b] and innocence of many in the church today, that they [..more..] J.C.
