He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
Image
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
Image
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
Image
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
Image
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Image
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
Image
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
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
Image
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
