More quotes by William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
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
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
