More quotes by William Gurnall
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.
William Gurnall
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
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
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
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
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
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
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
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
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
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
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
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
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
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
