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?
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
Hope is never ill when faith is well.
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
But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower
John Bunyan

Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.

To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.
John Bunyan
Image

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
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
Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan
Image
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
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God therefore man must be saved by grace.
John Bunyan
Image
Though it be said that faith cometh by hearing, yet it is the Spirit that worketh faith in the heart through hearing, or else they are not profited by hearing.
John Bunyan
Image
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.
