“There are three things which, according to the Bible, are absolutely necessary to the salvation of every man and woman in Christendom. These three are: justification, regeneration, and sanctification. All three meet in every child of God: he is both born again, justified and sanctified.
“He that lacks any one of these things is not a true Christian in the sight of God, and dying in that condition will not be found in heaven and glorified in the last day.”
~ J.C. Ryle

Thanks for the kind words Richard. Glad to see that a man who has been dead over a century can still “speak” words of encouragement and conviction into our Christian walk. Ryle’s writings are such a blessing to read as they aid my sanctification.
