The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John BunyanThough there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.
John BunyanIf my life is fruitless, it doesn't matter who praises me, and if my life is fruitful, it doesn't matter who criticizes me.
John BunyanMan indeed is the most noble, by creation, of all the creatures in the visible World; but by sin he has made himself the most ignoble.
John BunyanThe 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 Bunyan
