More quotes by 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
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
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
The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
William Gurnall
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
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
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
