What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation. John Bunyan
About This Quote

There is no greater glory for a man than to die for the truth. “What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it.” The reason that what God says is best is because he knows what he is speaking of. He knows that there is no greater glory for a man than to die for the truth, and he knows that if this does not happen then you have wasted your life on nothing. I have seen many people do this in my life, and I have also seen many people who have done this, who have died for the truth.

The reason why they die for the truth is because they know about their salvation, they know about the work of Christ on the cross. They know what they are doing, and so they are willing to sacrifice their life for something more important than themselves. No matter what you believe in or how much money you have, your life will be nothing if you do not die for it.
