J.C. Ryle: Are You Without Christ?

If you find that you are not a believer in Jesus Christ and your passions are not for the King of Kings, please heed the words of J.C. Ryle below.  For what good are the fleeting things of this world if our soul is lost for eternity.

"Are you without Christ?  Do not allow life to pass away without some serious thoughts and self-inquiry.  You cannot always go on as you do now.  A day must come when eating and drinking and sleeping and dressing and making merry and spending money will have an end.  There will be a day when your place will be empty, and you will be only spoken of as one dead and gone.  And where will you be then, if you have lived and died without thought about your soul, without God, and without Christ?  Oh, remember, it is better a thousand times to be without money and health and friends and company and good cheer than to be without Christ!" (J.C. Ryle, Holiness)
