Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots

by J.C. Ryle

Do we believe all the Bible? Let us ask ourselves that question. Depend on it, it is a much greater thing to believe all the Bible than many suppose. Happy is the man who can lay his hand on his heart and say, “I am a believer.”

Then take the advice I give you this day – go and cry to the Lord Jesus Christ, as the disciples did, “Lord, increase our faith.”

Jesus loves to honour the work of His Spirit in His people, and to pass over their frailties.

The Lord says, “I know thy works.” It ought to humble you. But it ought not to make you afraid.
