More quotes by William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
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
Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
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
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
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.
William Gurnall
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
William Gurnall
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
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.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
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
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
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
