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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
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
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
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
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
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
