God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.

More quotes by William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
William Gurnall
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
William Gurnall
What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?
William Gurnall
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
William Gurnall
When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.
William Gurnall
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
William Gurnall
It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
William Gurnall
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
