More quotes by John Bunyan
Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.
John Bunyan
Men, even the elect, have too many infirmities to come to Christ without help from heaven inviting will not do.
John Bunyan
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
Hope is never ill when faith is well.
John Bunyan
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
Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.
John Bunyan
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
He that lives in sin and looks for happiness hereafter is likehimthat soweth cockleand thinkstofill hisbarnwith wheat or barley.
John Bunyan
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
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
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
We know not the matter of the things for which we should pray, neither the object to whom we pray, nor the medium by or through whom we pray none of these things know we, but by the help and assistance of the Spirit.
John Bunyan
Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of a prison into a palace out of a sea of troubles into a haven of rest out of a crowd of enemies, to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends out of shame, reproach, and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.
John Bunyan
Every time you have with your mouth said well of godliness, and yet gone on in wickedness or every time you have condemned sin in others, and yet have not refrained it yourselves I say, every such word and conclusion that hath passed out of thy mouth, sinner, it shall be as a witness against thee in the day of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Bunyan
The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver.
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
Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
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
