Repentance and the Real Gospel
Let no man ever persuade you that any religion deserves to be called the Gospel, in which repentance toward God has not a most prominent place. That is no Gospel in which repentance is not a principal thing. It is the Gospel of man – not of God. It comes from earth – not from [...]
Looking Forward to Christ’s Return
Let me entreat all right-hearted readers to look onward and forward to the day of Christ’s second coming. A time draws near when Satan shall be bound, and Christ’s saints shall be changed–when sin shall no more vex us, and the sight of sinners shall no more sadden our minds–when believers shall at length attend [...]
All About Doing, Never About Believing
How painfully self–righteous are many! They can talk complacently about having “done their duty,” and being “kind to everybody,” and having always “kept to their church,” and having “never been so very bad” as some, and therefore they seem to think they must go to heaven! And as to deep sense of sin and simple [...]
True Christianity
Here is a fairly new video from J.C. Ryle’s tract written in 1895, five years before Ryle’s death, entitled True Christianity: What is Needed? For more information on other fantastic Christ-centered, Gospel-focused videos, visit the Grace Gems YouTube video channel. ► Here are the 4 points that Ryle expounds upon in his video, which are [...]
The Reality of the Inhabitants of Heaven
I make my solemn protest against those modern delusions, “that all people shall go to heaven at last—that it matters not how you live—that whether you are holy or unholy it does not matter—that whether you are godless or God-fearing, it is all the same thing, that all at last will get to heaven.” I [...]
Prove Your Sincerity From the Bible
The plain truth is, that “sincerity and earnestness” are becoming the idol of many Christians in these latter days. People seem to think it matters little what opinions a man holds in religion, so long as he is “earnest and sincere”, and you are thought uncharitable if you doubt his soundness in the faith! Against [...]
4 Great Doctrines To Always Keep in Mind
“I feel that we all need more and more of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, to guide, to teach and to keep us sound in the faith. There are certain great truths, which, in a day like this [1874!], we are especially bound to keep in mind. I believe there are [...]
You Cannot Think Too Much of Christ
Christ is He who has the keys of death and hell. Christ is the anointed Priest, who alone can absolve sinners. Christ is the fountain of living waters, in whom alone we can be cleansed. Christ is the Prince and Savior, who alone can give repentance and remission of sins. In Him all fullness dwells. [...]
Our Compassionate Christ
Let us rest our souls on the comfortable thought that the mind of Christ is always the same. If we are true believers, let us know that He looks at our graces more than at our faults, that He pities our infirmities, and that He will not deal with us according to our sins. Never [...]
