Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
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
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
The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.
John Bunyan
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan

John Bunyan

John Bunyan
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
Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
John Bunyan
Temptation provokes me to look upward to God.
John Bunyan
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
What a fool, quoth he, am I, thus to lie in a stinking dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty! I have a key in my bosom, called Promise, that will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle.
John Bunyan
There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.
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
