As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
John BunyanThe truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
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 BunyanHere is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in faith is better than a thousand prayers, as men call them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm way.
John Bunyan
