The beginning of a mighty conflict
J. C. Ryle, Holiness
Conversion is not putting a man in an arm-chair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
J. C. Ryle, Holiness (1879)
J. C. Ryle (1816–1900) was the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool. Holiness is his best-known book.
