More quotes by William Gurnall
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
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
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.
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
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
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
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
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
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
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
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
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
