Hope is never ill when faith is well.
— John Bunyan
Fear of the Lord
Christian, let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive for you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that the fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.
— John Bunyan
God’s Providence
God will not lightly or easily lose His people. He has provided well for us: blood to wash us in; a Priest to pray for us, that we may be made to persevere; and, in case we foully fall, an Advocate to plead our cause.
— John Bunyan
Prayer
Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.
— John Bunyan
Chastening
Let us learn like Christians to kiss the rod, and love it.
— John Bunyan
