More quotes by John Bunyan
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
John Bunyan
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
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
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
I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
John Bunyan
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
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
Hanging is too good for him said Mr. Cruelty.
John Bunyan
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.
John Bunyan
Yet my great-grandfather was but a water-man, looking one way and rowing another: and I got most of my estate by the same occupation.
John Bunyan
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan
The heart, when broken, is like sweet gums and spices when beaten for as such cast their fragrant scent into the nostrils of men, so the heart, when broken, casts its sweet smell into the nostrils of God.
John Bunyan
A saint abroad, and a devil at home.
John Bunyan
See how ye Pharisee in the Temple stands, And justifies himself with lifted hands. Whilst ye poor publican with downcast eyes, Conscious of guilt to God for mercy cries.
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
The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin to damn the whole world.
John Bunyan
Beware of resting in the word of the kingdom, without the spirit and power of the kingdom of that gospel, for the gospel coming in word only saves nobody, for the kingdom of God or the gospel, where it comes to salvation, is not in word but in power.
John Bunyan
Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.
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
