Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
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
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
Image
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
John Bunyan
Image
One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.
John Bunyan
Image
A saint abroad, and a devil at home.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell.
John Bunyan
Image
He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
I saw, moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor my bad frame that made my righteousness worse for my righteousness was Jesus Christ himself, the same yesterday and today and forever.
John Bunyan
Image
There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair.
John Bunyan
Image
The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver.
John Bunyan
Image
Now, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was, as he was wont, reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his mind and, as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, What shall I do to be saved?
