In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.

More quotes by William Gurnall
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.

William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.

Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
