More quotes by William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
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
Say not that thou hast royal blood in thy veins say not that thou art born of God if thou canst not prove thy pedigree by daring to be holy!
William Gurnall
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
William Gurnall
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
William Gurnall
We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.
William Gurnall
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
William Gurnall
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
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
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
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.
