Though 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 BunyanI would say to my soul, O my soul, this is not the place of despair; this is not the time to despair in. As long as mine eyes can find a promise in the Bible, as long as there is a moment left me of breath or life in this world, so long will I wait or look for mercy, so long will I fight against unbelief and despair.
John BunyanMen, even the elect, have too many infirmities to come to Christ without help from heaven; inviting will not do.
John Bunyan
