I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.
John Bunyan
Image
There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.
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
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
John Bunyan
Image
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
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
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

John Bunyan
Image
The best prayers have often more groans than words.
John Bunyan
Image
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
John Bunyan
Image
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
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
Some said, John, print it others said Not so. Some said, It might do good others said, No.
John Bunyan
Image
One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.
John Bunyan
Image
The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin to damn the whole world.
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
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
