The kingdom of heaven is for the heirs - and if children, then heirs; if born again, then heirs. Wherefore it is said expressly, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. By this one word, down goes all carnal privilege of being born of flesh and blood, and of the will of man. Canst thou produce the birthright?

John BunyanGrace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness; it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
John BunyanAt the day of Doom men shall be judged according to their fruits. It will not be said then, did you believe? But, were you doers or talkers only?
John BunyanIn times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.
