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
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Image
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
