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
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
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

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
Image
It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.

John Bunyan
Image
Now may this little Book a blessing be To those that love this little Book, and me: And may its Buyer have no cause to say, His money is but lost, or thrown away.
John Bunyan
Image
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan

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
A saint abroad, and a devil at home.
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
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
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
Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
