God didn't call me to kill me. He called me to glory and virtue. My body has dropped on His feet to follow me home no more. Who the son of God set free is free indeed.

About This Quote

John Bunyan said, “God didn’t call me to kill me. He called me to glory and virtue. My body has dropped on His feet to follow me home no more. Who the son of God set free is free indeed.” In this quote, Bunyan speaks of the final outcome that he wants his life to have.

Since he wants his life to have a positive outcome, he doesn’t want it to simply end at death. Instead, he wants his life to be a testimony for all mankind, a testimony that shows God’s power and love for mankind.
