Quotes by Fritz Ryser
It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me — that is a great blessing. Jesus Christ gives peace and joy in the heart.

What is love. Love is primarily not a feeling, but a decision, an attitude that expresses itself in actions. To make love dependent on our feelings means waiting for the right feelings. Our wounds and our selfish nature will hinder us from loving. Love is the opposite of egoism. Egoism centers on itself, and love means a you, or our fellow human beings. So love fundamentally means the other.
Fritz Ryser
God gives grace only to the humble, because only the humble is, to some degree, empty of self. God can only pour as much grace into a human soul as, and to the depth that, the vessel of the soul is empty of self-love, self-righteousness, selfishness and self-glory, and empty of one's own honor — the honor we ascribe to ourselves or accept from others.
Fritz Ryser
We are saved by grace, and made righteous without merit, so that we cannot boast. New life and eternal life therefore cannot be earned. We humans cannot earn or achieve new and eternal life through religiosity, good works, or a good life. We humans generally believe ourselves self-righteous and think that by doing much good and living a good life, we deserve heaven. But eternal life remains a gift of God — one which, fortunately, we humans cannot earn.
