Quotes About Jesus

~ J.C. Ryle

Terribly black must that guilt be for which nothing but the blood of the Son of God could make satisfaction. Heavy must that weight of human sin be which made Jesus groan and sweat drops of blood in agony at Gethsemane, and cry at Golgotha, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?

~ J.C. Ryle
He meant to declare strongly that he trusted in nothing but Jesus Christ crucified for the pardon of his sins and the salvation of his soul. Let others, if they would, look elsewhere for salvation; let others, if they were so disposed, trust in other things for pardon and peace. But for his part, the apostle was determined to rest on nothing, lean on nothing, build his hope on nothing, place confidence in nothing, and glory in nothing except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

La teología se ha convertido, a menudo, en un ídolo para muchos que, en realidad, han estado adorando ideas y no a Dios. A pesar de lo terrible que es esto, estoy seguro de que todos coincidirán en lo fácil que es olvidar la persona del Señor Jesucristo y circunscribir nuestra adoración a las ideas, a las teorías y a las enseñanzas relacionadas con él.

I fear the personality of our Lord is sadly lost sight of by many professors in the present day. Their talk is more about salvation than about the Saviour--more about redemption than about the Redeemer--more about justification than about Jesus--more about Christ's work than about Christ's person. This a great fault, and one that fully accounts for the dry and sapless character of the religion of many professors.
~ J.C. Ryle
Think what a solemn warning there is here to all worldly and hypocritical professors of religion. Let all such read, mark, and digest these words. Jesus says to you, "I know thy works.
~ J.C. Ryle
We may depend upon it, men will never come to Jesus and stay with Jesus and live for Jesus, unless they really know why they are to come and what is their need. Those whom the Spirit draws to Jesus are those whom the Spirit has convinced of sin. Without thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
~ J.C. Ryle
Vivir la vida de una fe cotidiana en el Hijo de Dios y tomar de su plenitud cada día, la gracia y las fuerzas prometidas que tiene reservadas para su pueblo, es el gran secreto de la santificación progresiva.
~ J.C. Ryle
While forgiveness is an important part of the gospel, the good news goes beyond that. It amounts to the claim that the kingdom of God—the direct availability of God himself and His rule—is now available to anyone who will enter it through trust in Jesus.
~ J.P. Moreland

The first category—those eunuchs who have been so from birth—is the closest description we have in the Bible of what we understand today as a homosexual."7 It is clear that Jesus did not see humanity as universally heterosexual. Jesus recognized and acknowledged many types of sexual difference—even in a society in which such difference would have been downplayed, hidden, or even punished.

Neo-orthodoxy's defining insight, taken from the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, was that people and God are known by personal encounter, not by rational analysis.11 The revelation of God comes not in an inspired book, but in the person of Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate.12 The Bible is a witness to Christ.
~ Unknown
To justify their inability to cope with cultural change, they turn to the Bible and proof-text, that is, they take verses out of the context of the whole and make universal laws of them. Instead of reading the Bible through the lens of Jesus' life and ministry, many have again tried to make the Bible a law book, which they then apply selectively, only to those with whom they disagree.
~ Unknown
