Quote by J.C. Ryle

“I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need.

“The Bible is the Word of God, God's breath, the truth of God - active and life-saving. Its words are a lamp to our feet, a light to our path, and a sword to our souls, illuminating our way, guiding us in righteousness, and transforming us into the likeness of Christ. As we read and apply its teachings, may we be filled with the Spirit of Truth, and may our lives be a testament to the power and grace of God's living Word.”
