Discourse upon John 14:1, "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me." Bunyan states that we must not despise the chastening of the Lord; we must not be as stocks and stones, altogether insensible of the hand of God upon us. We must be sensible, but our care must be that we suffer not nature to work alone without grace. He commends and explains the grand doctrine that the lively acting of true faith upon God in Christ is the best preventive of and remedy against heart trouble, under the greatest loss whatsoever.
Author John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born the son of a metalworker near Bedford, England. He went on to become a famous preacher and writer and during his life penned over 2 million words, his most famous work being ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’.
