Eu gostaria que os cristãos professos de hoje estudassem os quatro Evangelhos mais do que estudam. Eu sei que toda a Escritura é proveitosa. Eu não desejo exaltar uma parte da Bíblia às custas de outra. Mas eu acho que seria bom para alguns, que estão muito familiarizados com as Epístolas, se eles soubessem um pouco mais sobre os Evangelhos de Mateus, Marcos, Lucas e João. Eu digo isso porque quero que os cristãos professos saibam mais sobre Cristo.

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was the first bishop of Liverpool and a writer, pastor and an evangelical preacher. His writings on the Gospels are considered by many to be the best practical, devotional and Christ-centered commentaries ever written! He said, 'I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible, and everything it contains!' 

Eu tenho uma pergunta para lhe fazer. Ela é composta de duas palavras: VOCÊ ORA?A questão é que ninguém pode responder a esta pergunta por você. Se você assistiu ao culto público ou não, o seu pastor sabe. Se você faz orações familiares em sua casa ou não, seus parentes sabem. Mas se você ora em secreto ou não, é um assunto apenas entre você e Deus. Vivemos em dias de abundante profissão religiosa. Há mais lugares de culto público agora do que jamais houve. Há mais pessoas frequentando-os do que em qualquer outro momento anterior.

JC Ryle states that of all the Christian concepts, the Lord’s Supper might be the most misunderstood. Christ said, "eat, drink: do this in remembrance of me." But Ryle explains that not all of us can be invited to the table and that only those with true faith and a true heart can do so in full understanding of its significance.

The garden is possibly one of the most significant symbols in the Bible. Christ calls all of his believers, his "Garden". J.C. Ryle explains that true believers are a garden because they are not part of the wilderness, not part of the world, but rather of a safe space enclosed in purity.

The Holy Spirit might seem like a rather vague and complicated subject. Anywhere we encounter the spirit in the Bible, it is presented as a force present during moments of great importance. Ryle expands on the importance and necessity of The Holy Spirit in man’s road to redemption.

Clear, concise, and penetrating, Practical Religion contains a series of writings about the daily duties, dangers, experiences, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians. Ryle explains that a "practical religion" is not a religion of works, but rather one in which those who are saved can put their faith into practice.
