There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God therefore man must be saved by grace.
John Bunyan
Image
Though it be said that faith cometh by hearing, yet it is the Spirit that worketh faith in the heart through hearing, or else they are not profited by hearing.
John Bunyan

Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan

John Bunyan
Image
No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
John Bunyan
Image
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

I could not be satisfied unless some fruits did appear in my work.
John Bunyan
Image
It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan

Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.
