More quotes by John Bunyan
Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!
John Bunyan
Hope is never ill when faith is well.
John Bunyan
It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.
John Bunyan
If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won't do whatever they want, they'll do whatever He wants.
John Bunyan
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan
Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
John Bunyan
Every time you have with your mouth said well of godliness, and yet gone on in wickedness or every time you have condemned sin in others, and yet have not refrained it yourselves I say, every such word and conclusion that hath passed out of thy mouth, sinner, it shall be as a witness against thee in the day of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Bunyan
Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
John Bunyan
I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.
John Bunyan
There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.
John Bunyan
There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.
John Bunyan
Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of a prison into a palace out of a sea of troubles into a haven of rest out of a crowd of enemies, to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends out of shame, reproach, and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.
John Bunyan
Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us it can help us when we are down it can heal us when we are wounded it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
John Bunyan
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
I saw, moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor my bad frame that made my righteousness worse for my righteousness was Jesus Christ himself, the same yesterday and today and forever.
John Bunyan
The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver.
John Bunyan
In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan
The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.
John Bunyan
Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.
John Bunyan
The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.
