Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.

More quotes by William Gurnall
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
The Christian is to proclaim and prosecute an irreconcilable war against his bosom sins those sins which have lain nearest his heart, must now be trampled under his feet.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
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.
William Gurnall
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
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
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
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.
