The Christian Race

In The Christian Race, Banner of Truth presents sermons by J. C. Ryle on enduring in the faith.

I was most pleased to read a series of three sermons on regeneration, taking all three to examine John 3:3. Ryle strikes a clear distinction between those who are born again and those who are not. He focuses on an inward change in spirit and truth, and that it is impossible to change your heart without God. Writing with urgency, he implores his hearers not to quench the Spirit and goes on to list 8 marks of a born-again believer.

Motivating and Encouraging

I was most excited to read a four-sermon series from Revelation. There is urgency and pleading in these sermons. Ryle speaks of heavenly glories, and the blessings and rewards that come with being included in the redeemed. I was compelled to look forward to a place of perfect unbroken happiness, no sorrows, and being with my Savior.

The Christian Race is an excellent collection of sermons that will spur you on in your walk with God. Motivating and encouraging, it will cause you to run.
