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
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
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
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
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
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 chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
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
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
Truly, hope is the saint's covering, wherein he wraps himself, when he lays his body down to sleep in the grave: My flesh, saith David, shall rest in hope.
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
Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?
William Gurnall
The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.
William Gurnall
Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.
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
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
