More quotes by 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 Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from man's mouth, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things.
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
It is easier going out of the way when we are in, than going in when we are out.
John Bunyan
Image
Who would true valour see, Let him come hither One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim.
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
A saint abroad, and a devil at home.
John Bunyan
Image
Nothing can hurt you except sin nothing can grieve me except sin nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.
John Bunyan
Image
Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
John Bunyan
Image
The same yesterday, today, and forever.
John Bunyan
Image
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
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
As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.
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.

Now, Mr. Great-heart was a strong man, so he was not afraid of a lion.
