John Bunyan
Image
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.
John Bunyan
Image
There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.
John Bunyan

Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.
John Bunyan
Image
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
John Bunyan
Image
It is easier going out of the way when we are in, than going in when we are out.
John Bunyan
