Image
Nothing can hurt you except sin nothing can grieve me except sin nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
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
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
He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride He that is humble, ever shall have God to be his Guide.
John Bunyan
Image
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan
Image
Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.
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
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
John Bunyan
Image
For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.
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
Image
Who would true valour see, Let him come hither One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim.
John Bunyan
Image
Without the Spirit man is so infirm that he cannot, with all other means whatsoever, be enabled to think one right saving thought of God, of Christ, or of his blessed things.
John Bunyan
Image
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
Image
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
Image
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
Image
To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
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
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
