More quotes by John Bunyan

Image
Now, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was, as he was wont, reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his mind and, as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, What shall I do to be saved?
John Bunyan
Image
Yet my great-grandfather was but a water-man, looking one way and rowing another: and I got most of my estate by the same occupation.
John Bunyan
Image
Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.
John Bunyan
Image
The reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from man's mouth, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things.
John Bunyan
Image
The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
John Bunyan
Image
Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
John Bunyan
Image
Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.
John Bunyan
Image
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
Image
I could not be satisfied unless some fruits did appear in my work.
John Bunyan
Image
There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.
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
Image
As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
John Bunyan
Image
Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
John Bunyan
Image
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
To seek yourself in this world is to be lost and to be humble is to be exalted.
John Bunyan
Image
Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach their course to steer, Yet run himself life's mad career Wild as the wave?
John Bunyan
Image
There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.
John Bunyan
